RVMD Options Contract Analysis and Investment Opportunities
- Put Option Appeal: The current bid for the $90.00 put option is $6.60, and if an investor sells this contract, they commit to buying the stock at $90.00, effectively lowering their cost basis to $83.40, which represents an approximately 8% discount to the current price of $98.21, making it attractive for RVMD buyers.
- Yield Potential Analysis: Should the put option expire worthless, the premium would yield a 7.33% return on the cash commitment, or an annualized 25.50%, highlighting the strategy's potential returns, with Stock Options Channel tracking these metrics over time.
- Call Option Returns: The $105.00 call option has a current bid of $9.10, and if an investor buys RVMD shares at $98.21 and sells this contract, they could achieve a total return of 16.18% if the stock is called away at expiration, showcasing the attractiveness of this strategy.
- Risk-Reward Trade-off: Given that the $105.00 strike price represents a 7% premium to the current stock price, current analytical data suggests a 50% chance of the call option expiring worthless, allowing investors to retain both their shares and the premium collected, further enhancing returns.
