Shareholders of Ventas Inc (VTR) looking to boost their income beyond the stock's 2.8% annualized dividend yield can sell the January 2027 covered call at the $75 strike and collect the premium based on the $5.30 bid, which annualizes to an additional 3.7% rate of return against the current stock price (at Stock Options Channel we call this the YieldBoost), for a total of 6.5% 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 VTR shares would have to climb 16.6% from current levels for that to happen, meaning that in the scenario where the stock is called, the shareholder has earned a 24.8% return from this trading level, in addition to any dividends collected before the stock was called.
