  • Investors Eye Applied Optoelectronics $15 Strike Puts for 23.3% Return
    January 30, 2026, 12:35 PM EST. Investors considering Applied Optoelectronics Inc (AAOI) shares at $44.09 might explore selling January 2028 puts at the $15 strike. The put option bid is $3.50, yielding 23.3% against the $15 commitment or an 11.8% annualized return, known as YieldBoost. Selling puts exposes investors to downside risk; if AAOI shares plunge 66.4% below current price, the put may be exercised, resulting in shares acquired at an effective $11.50 cost basis after premium. AAOI's trailing twelve-month volatility stands at 123%, highlighting considerable price swings. This strategy offers premium income but limits upside potential unless shares fall sharply. Investors should weigh the risks with fundamental analysis before proceeding.
