Selling XPO puts for income.
XPO Logistics (XPO) is a trucking and logistics company helping to ease supply chain issues in our economy.
The company generates reliable profits and should continue to do well even in a challenging economic environment.
Shares are very cheap compared to earnings. Investors have been worried about the possibility of a recession, and many sold XPO ahead of these fears.
Now, the stock offers investors a true value. This is at a time when inflation fears are set to ease and investors are loading up on value stocks.
By selling the August $47.50 puts near $1.60, we’re able to collect an annualized yield near 40%, while also giving us roughly $3.70 per share in cushion between the current market price for XPO and our strike price.
