Shareholders of KapStone Paper & Packaging Corp looking to boost their income beyond the stock's 1.6% annualized dividend yield can sell the January 2017 covered call at the $30 strike and collect the premium based on the $1.90 bid, which annualizes to an additional 5.1% rate of return against the current stock price (at Stock Options Channel we call this the YieldBoost), for a total of 6.7% annualized rate in the scenario where the stock is not called away. Any upside above $30 would be lost if the stock rises there and is called away, but KS shares would have to advance 21.2% from current levels for that to happen, meaning that in the scenario where the stock is called, the shareholder has earned a 28.9% return from this trading level, in addition to any dividends collected before the stock was called.
