Super Group Ltd: Options Strategies to Enhance Dividend Returns
Shareholders of Super Group Ltd (Symbol: SGHC) seeking to increase their income beyond the stock’s 1.9% annualized dividend yield have the option of selling an October covered call at the $9 strike. By doing so, they can collect a premium of 80 cents, which annualizes to an additional 21.6% rate of return based on the current stock price. This strategy, referred to as YieldBoost, could lead to a total 23.4% annualized rate if the stock is not called away. However, any potential gains above $9 would not be realized if the stock rises to that level and is then called away. Currently, SGHC shares would need to increase by 3.8% for that scenario to occur. Shareholders would earn a 13% return from this trading level, in addition to any dividends received before the stock is called.
Dividend amounts can be unpredictable and generally follow the company’s profitability trends. To assess the likelihood of continued dividend payments, it may be useful for investors to review the dividend history chart below for SGHC.
