NICE Dividend Type Payments
Although NICE has no upcoming (meaning, Board-approved and announced) dividends, you can sell covered calls on NICE Ltd - American Depositary Shares each representing one Ordinary Sha to create 12 extra dividend type payments per year to boost its yield. Let's look at some recent prices (last updated Thu 4:16 PM ET):

NICE Dividend-Like Income Using Covered Calls
With NICE at 170.19, here's a table showing how big the annual "dividend" (i.e. total annual call premium received) would need to be to attain 3%, 5%, and 10% annual yields. Also shown is the equivalent number of cents/day necessary to achieve each yield:
| Annual Yield | Annual Premium | Cents/Day |
|---|---|---|
| 3% | 5.11 | 1.4 |
| 5% | 8.51 | 2.3 |
| 10% | 17.02 | 4.7 |
So now we need to find out of the money covered calls that pay at least the prescribed cents/day amount of time premium. That will generate income and, because they are out of the money, leave room for some upside potential on the stock. Here are some examples:
