Shareholders of Terex Corporation (NYSE:TEX), looking to boost their income beyond the stock’s 0.5% annualized dividend yield can sell the January 2015 covered call at the $50 strike and collect the premium based on the $2.95 bid, which annualizes to an additional 7.2% rate of return against the current stock price (at Stock Options Channel we call this the YieldBoost), for a total of 7.7% annualized rate in the scenario where the stock is not called away. Any upside above $50 would be lost if the stock rises there and is called away, but TEX shares would have to advance 19.9% from current levels for that to occur, meaning that in the scenario where the stock is called, the shareholder has earned a 27% return from this trading level, in addition to any dividends collected before the stock was called.
