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%. 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. The article discusses Alphabet's strong AI-driven growth, particularly in Google Cloud (63% revenue jump), but also highlights risks from massive capital expenditures ($180-190 billion in 2026) and potential compute constraints.
