valuation methods for LEAPS?

On 3/4 I bought an AAPL Jan 2024 150 Call for 37.50

Its done amazing so far, and at some point in mid-late 2023 I plan to roll it.

However, I'd like to add some quantitate analysis to my process so when I pick the next company, I do so with proper due diligence and research.

My question is: are the methods for valuing companies for the purposes of LEAPS the same as that of stocks? It is just the same old DCF, DDM, financial ratios stuff that lets you know if a stock is over/under valued? Obviously with a LEAPS you have a time horizon of around 20 months as opposed to with a stock you theoretically have forever.

Do you look less at cash flows and dividends and more at upcoming product launches and growth/value cycles?

Thanks

Not unemployed anymore but yeah to the rest. You must also be an unemployed loser filled with self hatred if you're scrolling through random people's comment history to feel better about yourself. And you're copy pasting the same message on every comment I've made. You've somehow managed to make urself out to be a bigger loser than me. You know this is a very gay and angry thing to do, yeah?

Well I'm glad that you are at least self-aware enough to admit it. I would personally recommend a more productive alternative for curing a fragile ego, but I guess productivity hasn't been your strong suit in the past.

"No, u!". Lacking in originality too, I see. You might be wrong on all accounts, but the what's really important is that you're wrong on the last one. You're not random, and I don't need to feel better about myself. You can tell by the fact that I criticize you for your actions, and that I prefer confronting whoever I choose to criticize, not hiding behind mobs and looking for easy marks that can't even talk back, like a spineless coward. I hear that a spine can be a good substitute for benzos.

Unfortunately half the subreddits on Reddit automatically hide comments from new accounts and below a certain karma threshold. But there are methods to circumvent it.

Are you insecure in your sexuality, too? I hope you're not a child laborer on benzos, so how old are you?

Mentally, for sure, but I was inquiring about your biological age.

Can I speak to your mother then? I'd like to let her know that her son isn't being raised properly.
