Elevating Returns Beyond Dividends
Shareholders of Thor Industries, Inc. (Symbol: THO) seeking to amplify their returns above the stock’s modest 1.6% annualized dividend yield have a compelling opportunity. By executing a shrewd move to sell the January 2026 covered call at the $170 strike and collecting the premium based on the $7.60 bid, investors can harness an additional 3.6% rate of return against the current stock price. This enhanced strategy, known as the YieldBoost, showcases a remarkable potential for a total of 5.3% annualized rate, assuming the stock is not called away. While the risk of losing upside potential beyond $170 exists if the stock rises to that level and gets called away, Thor Industries shares would need to surge by a substantial 45.8% from present levels for this scenario to materialize. Nevertheless, in a scenario where the stock is called, the shareholder could relish a significant 52.3% return from the trading level, in addition to any dividends accrued prior to the call.
