YieldBoost Vishay Intertechnology To 15% Using Options

Shareholders of Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (Symbol: VSH) looking to boost their income beyond the stock's 1.2% annualized dividend yield can sell the January 2028 covered call at the $50 strike and collect the premium based on the $5.90 bid, which annualizes to an additional 13.8% rate of return against the current stock price (at Stock Options Channel we call this the YieldBoost ), for a total of 15% 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 VSH shares would have to climb 56.9% from current levels for that to occur, meaning that in the scenario where the stock is called, the shareholder has earned a 75.
