Any upside above $43 would be lost if the stock rises there and is called away, but VNOM shares would have to advance 6.3% from current levels for that to occur, meaning that in the scenario where the stock is called, the shareholder has earned a 10.4% return from this trading level, in addition to any dividends collected before the stock was called. In general, dividend amounts are not always predictable and tend to follow the ups and downs of profitability at each company. In the case of Viper Energy Inc, looking at the dividend history chart for VNOM below can help in judging whether the most recent dividend is likely to continue, and in turn whether it is a reasonable expectation to expect a 3.3% annualized dividend yield. Below is a chart showing VNOM's trailing twelve month trading history, with the $43 strike highlighted in red: The chart above, and the stock's historical volatility, can be a helpful guide in combination with fundamental analysis to judge whether selling the March 2026 covered call at the $43 strike gives good reward for the risk of having given away the upside beyond $43. (Do most options expire worthless? This and six other common options myths debunked). We calculate the trailing twelve month volatility for Viper Energy Inc (considering the last 250 trading day closing values as well as today's price of $40.25) to be 36%.
