Exploring NXPI Options Activity
Today marks the commencement of trading for fresh options tied to NXP Semiconductors NV (NXPI) with a May 10th expiry. The Stock Options Channel diligently sifted through the NXPI options chain, identifying two contracts that stand out amidst the sea of possibilities.
Spotlight on Put Options
The $245.00 strike put contract is a focal point, boasting a current bid of $9.10. Sellers of this put contract commit to acquiring the stock at $245.00, alongside pocketing the premium. This move effectively lowers the cost basis of the shares to $235.90 – a potentially alluring proposition for investors eyeing NXPI shares. Positioned approximately 1% below the stock’s current trading price, the contract may expire as a worthless artifact, with current odds pegged at 57%.
Tracking Performance Through Time
As Stock Options Channel meticulously observes these odds, a narrative unfolds through analytical data, unveiling the potential return should the contract dissolve into nothingness. The premium could herald a return of 3.71% on the initial cash investment or a juicy 31.53% annually – a phenomenon we aptly term the “YieldBoost.”
Call Options Realm
Turning our gaze to the calls side, the $250.00 strike call contract is a beacon with a current bid of $10.30. Buyers of this call contract, combined with owning NXPI shares, can delve into “covered call” territory – committing to selling the stock at $250.00. This arrangement could churn out a total return of 5.58% upon stock call-away at the May 10th deadline. However, untapped potential lies in wait should NXPI shares skyrocket, urging a stroll down memory lane via the company’s trailing twelve-month trading history.
