YieldBoost YOU From 2% To 7.3% Using Options

Shareholders of Clear Secure Inc (YOU) looking to boost their income beyond the stock's 2% annualized dividend yield can sell the January 2026 covered call at the $29.13 strike and collect the premium based on the $1.65 bid, which annualizes to an additional 5.4% rate of return against the current stock price (at Stock Options Channel we call this the YieldBoost), for a total of 7.3% annualized rate in the scenario where the stock is not called away. Any upside above $29.13 would be lost if the stock rises there and is called away, but YOU shares would have to climb 42.1% from current levels for that to occur, meaning that in the scenario where the stock is called, the shareholder has earned a 50.2% return from this trading level, in addition to any dividends collected before the stock was called.
