What Is the Maximum Profit for a Long Call Option Buyer?

The maximum profit for a long call option buyer is theoretically unlimited. If the underlying asset's price rises significantly above the strike price, the profit continues to increase without limit.

The profit is calculated as the underlying price minus the strike price, multiplied by the contract size, and then minus the premium paid.
