For contingent claim payoff (ST​−K)+2​ in the non-dividend Black-Scholes model, differentiating the discounted expected value gives Δ=2e−rτS−1E[(ST2​−KST​)1{ST​≥K}​]. Completing the square in the Gaussian exponent computes each truncated lognormal moment and yields the displayed formula, where d1​=(log(S/K)+(r+σ2/2)τ)/(στ​). Its terminal limit is 2(S−K)+​.
