Burford Capital Limited Ordinary Shares: Boosting Yield with Options

Burford Capital Limited Ordinary Shares (BUR) shareholders can boost their income to 13.3% annually by selling the January 2027 covered call at $12.50. This requires the stock not to rise above $12.50, which would result in a 32% increase from the current price. If the stock is called, the shareholder would have earned a 44.1% return. The dividend history chart and trailing twelve-month volatility can help in judging the reasonableness of the 1.3% annualized dividend yield.
