Electronic Data Systems (NYSE:EDS) opened today at $28.27. So far, the stock has hit a low of $28.17 and a high of $28.39. As of 10:13 this morning, EDS was trading at $28.34, up $0.07 (0.25%) on extremely heavy volume.
After hitting a one year low of $22.42 on July 18, 2006, the stock snaked up 26.7% to a 52-week high of $28.40 yesterday at 2:59 in the afternoon. Electronic Data Systems reported earnings last week and investors seem to like the direction the company is headed. The technicals for EDS have been strongly improving lately and S&P gives the company a 4 STAR (out of 5) buy rating with a current 12-Month target price of $32.
For a neutral hedged play on EDS, I would consider a June covered call at the $27.50 level. There is even a small dividend on the stock with a 0.7% annual yield.
