How is a call warrant calculated?
Subtract the exercise price from the market price to find the intrinsic value of the warrant. Suppose the market price is $50 per share and the exercise price is $40. This gives you an intrinsic value of $10 per share. Divide the intrinsic value by the conversion ratio to find the value of one warrant.
How do warrants affect stock prices?
