Shareholders of BorgWarner Inc (BWA) looking to boost their income beyond the stock's 1.2% annualized dividend yield can sell the January 2025 covered call at the $37.50 strike and collect the premium based on the $1.40 bid, which annualizes to an additional 15.5% rate of return against the current stock price (at Stock Options Channel we call this the YieldBoost), for a total of 16.8% annualized rate in the scenario where the stock is not called away. Any upside above $37.50 would be lost if the stock rises there and is called away, but BWA shares would have to climb 6% from current levels for that to occur, meaning that in the scenario where the stock is called, the shareholder has earned a 9.9% return from this trading level, in addition to any dividends collected before the stock was called.
