At 19x forward earnings and 2 – 4% earnings growth, Medibank is a strong candidate for a covered call overlay to enhance the investment returns.

The stock trades on a forward yield of 3% and when adding a covered call, we can boost the cash flow to 10% on an annualized basis.

Buy MPL at $3.25 and look for a move higher to $3.50 before selling call options.

Our Algo Engine generated a buy signal in MPL on Friday.

With the share price retracing from a $3.39 high, (formed in February), to close at $2.89, we now draw your attention to MPL as it enters our value range.

MPL’s earnings report last month showed the company is struggling to grow revenue and bottom line profit, therefore 2019 will likely show flat to no growth.

However, with the stock on a 4.4% yield and adding a covered call option, 10 – 12% annualized cash flow can be generated without too much downside risk.

Look to accumulate within the $2.80 – $2.90 range.

We see Medibank staying within a $2.90 – $3.20 consolidation range. There was nothing in last week’s earnings result to suggest otherwise.

With the stock on 4.1% yield, little to no revenue growth and flat underlying earnings at best, we see MPL as a “tight buy-write” strategy.

The only opportunity here is to strip out the dividend, franking credits and option income to generate 10 – 12% cash flow from a relatively low risk stock.

Value emerges near support at $2.70.
