How To YieldBoost LCI Industries To 15.1% Using Options

Shareholders of LCI Industries (LCII) looking to boost their income beyond the stock's 3.9% annualized dividend yield can sell the April 2025 covered call at the $135 strike and collect the premium based on the $4.80 bid, which annualizes to an additional 11.1% rate of return against the current stock price (at Stock Options Channel we call this the YieldBoost), for a total of 15.1% annualized rate in the scenario where the stock is not called away. Any upside above $135 would be lost if the stock rises there and is called away, but LCII shares would have to advance 14.9% from current levels for that to happen, meaning that in the scenario where the stock is called, the shareholder has earned a 19% return from this trading level, in addition to any dividends collected before the stock was called.
