One put contract at the $21.00 strike price currently offers a bid of $1.52. By selling-to-open this contract, an investor agrees to buy the stock at $21.00, but also receives the premium. This lowers the shares’ cost basis to $19.48, presenting a cost-effective way to acquire INTC shares.
The $21.00 strike sits at an approximately 11% discount to the current trading price. This out-of-the-money status implies a 71% chance the put contract may expire without value, providing opportunities for a 7.24% return on cash commitment or 19.86% annualized yield.
On the calls side, the $25.00 strike call contract has a bid of $2.54. Buying INTC shares at $23.72 and executing a covered call at $25.00 offers a 16.10% return if shares reach this level by February 2025. However, potential stock price increases may limit overall gains, necessitating a thorough analysis of INTC’s trading history and business fundamentals.
