Use a Short Put Condor to Grab 47% Yield Off Intel (INTC) Next Week

Semiconductor specialist Intel (INTC) has in many ways a make-or-break earnings report coming up, appropriately on Halloween. In the last financial disclosure for the second quarter, the tech giant posted a non-GAAP loss per share of 3 cents on revenue of $12.83 billion. Unfortunately, analysts anticipated EPS of 10 cents on sales of $12.98 billion, sending INTC stock tumbling.

Since the fallout, however, circumstances have improved for Intel. With the bad news baked in, speculators jumped on the risky but intriguing value proposition of INTC stock. Further, some fundamental justification exists, such as the company’s plan to expand chip production in Ohio. Overall enthusiasm for artificial intelligence has also lifted sentiment.
