YieldBoost Cintas Corporation To 9.3% Using Options

Shareholders of Cintas Corporation (CTAS) looking to boost their income beyond the stock's 0.8% annualized dividend yield can sell the January 2019 covered call at the $220 strike and collect the premium based on the $6.00 bid, which annualizes to an additional 8.5% rate of return against the current stock price (at Stock Options Channel we call this the YieldBoost), for a total of 9.3% annualized rate in the scenario where the stock is not called away. Any upside above $220 would be lost if the stock rises there and is called away, but CTAS shares would have to climb 3.8% from current levels for that to occur, meaning that in the scenario where the stock is called, the shareholder has earned a 6.6% return from this trading level, in addition to any dividends collected before the stock was called.
