YieldBoost AMSF To 1792% Using Options

Shareholders of Amerisafe Inc (AMSF) looking to boost their income beyond the stock's 3.3% annualized dividend yield can sell the July covered call at the $75 strike and collect the premium based on the $131.70 bid, which annualizes to an additional 1788.7% rate of return against the current stock price (at Stock Options Channel we call this the YieldBoost), for a total of 1792% annualized rate in the scenario where the stock is not called away. Any upside above $75 would be lost if the stock rises there and is called away, but AMSF shares would have to advance 64.7% from current levels for that to happen, meaning that in the scenario where the stock is called, the shareholder has earned a 353.8% return from this trading level, in addition to any dividends collected before the stock was called.
