How To Bank 8.8% On GOOGL Stock Before Buying A Single Share
This Yahoo Finance article, authored by the Trefis Team, outlines a strategy for investors to generate income from Alphabet (GOOGL) stock without immediately purchasing shares. The approach involves selling a put option with a strike price of $245, expiring June 17, 2027, to collect an $845 premium per contract. Combined with parking the required cash in a money market account earning 5%, the strategy yields an annualized return of approximately 8.8%. The article discusses two outcomes: if GOOGL stays above $245, the investor keeps the premium; if it falls below, the investor buys shares at an effective cost of $236.55, a 32% discount to the current price. It also analyzes Alphabet's growth drivers, including a 63% surge in Google Cloud revenue to $20 billion and a $462 billion backlog, balanced against massive capital expenditure plans of up to $190 billion in 2026.
