PAY Dividend Type Payments
Although PAY has no upcoming (meaning, Board-approved and announced) dividends, you can sell covered calls on Paymentus Holdings, Inc. Class A to create 12 extra dividend type payments per year to boost its yield. Let's look at some recent prices (last updated Tue 4:16 PM ET):

PAY Dividend-Like Income Using Covered Calls
With PAY at 34.58, 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% | 1.04 | 0.3 |
| 5% | 1.73 | 0.5 |
| 10% | 3.46 | 0.9 |
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:
