  • Qiagen NV (QGEN) Strategy to YieldBoost to 16.3% Using May Covered Calls
    January 21, 2026, 12:06 PM EST. Qiagen NV shareholders can boost income beyond its 0.5% dividend yield by selling May covered calls at the $60 strike. The $2.70 premium collects an annualized 15.8% return, combining for a 16.3% yield if the stock remains below $60 and is not called away. If shares rise above $60, investors capture a 14.8% return including dividends before being called. Qiagen's 30% trailing volatility and a 9.9% required stock price increase to trigger a call help assess the risk and reward. Meanwhile, options trading shows high call demand with a put:call ratio of 0.43 among S&P 500 stocks, below the long-term median of 0.65, indicating strong bullish sentiment in the market.
