Intel Stock Is Down, But Put Premiums are High - Put Short Sellers Love the High Yields

Intel Corp. (INTC) is set to release earnings on Thursday, July 23, after the market close. But investors are nervous. As a result, INTC is way off its highs, and put option premiums are high. Short-sellers can make a one-month 4.5% yield at an INTC put strike price that is 15% lower.

INTC closed at $95.04, down 2.0% on Friday, July 17. It's down from $139.53 on June 30 (-31.9%) and $140.94 on June 22 (-32.6%) in the past two weeks.
