How To YieldBoost BBY From 2.6% To 26.6%

Wed, 22 May 2013 14:31:33 -0400

Shareholders of Best Buy Inc (BBY) looking to boost their income beyond the stock's 2.6% annualized dividend yield can sell the September covered call at the $27 strike and collect the premium based on the $2.08 bid, which annualizes to an additional 24% rate of return against the current stock price (at Stock Options Channel we call this the YieldBoost), for a total of 26.6% annualized rate in the scenario where the stock is not called away. Any upside above $27 would be lost if the stock rises there and is called away, but BBY shares would have to climb 4% from current levels for that to happen, meaning that in the scenario where the stock is called, the shareholder has earned a 12% return from this trading level, in addition to any dividends collected before the stock was called.
