The put contract at $220.00 offers an interesting opportunity. If an investor sells-to-open this put contract, they commit to purchasing shares at $220.00 but collect a premium of $10.50, lowering the effective cost basis to $209.50 (before broker commissions). This represents a potential 1% discount to the current trading price of $221.63, making it an attractive alternative for investors interested in purchasing shares [1].
The put contract is out-of-the-money by approximately 1%, and there is a 56% chance it will expire worthless [1]. In this scenario, the premium collected would represent a 4.77% return on the cash commitment, or 34.84% annualized, which Stock Options Channel refers to as the YieldBoost.
On the call side, the $225.00 strike price represents an approximate 2% premium to the current trading price of $221.63. Selling-to-open this call contract as a "covered call" would commit the investor to selling shares at $225.00, with the premium collected. This strategy could yield a total return (excluding dividends) of 6.21% if the stock gets called away at expiration [1].
The call contract is also out-of-the-money by approximately 2%, with a 50% chance of expiring worthless [1]. In this case, the investor would keep their shares and the premium collected, representing a 4.69% boost to their return, or 34.26% annualized, also referred to as the YieldBoost.
Both contracts exhibit implied volatilities of 38% and 37%, respectively, while the actual trailing twelve month volatility is 36% [1].
Investors should consider these options contracts as part of their broader strategy, keeping in mind the risks and potential rewards. For more put and call options contract ideas, visit StockOptionsChannel.com [1].
