Realty Income Corp (O) Covered Calls

Running O covered calls helps you generate consistent income from Realty Income Corp's shares you already own, turning a long stock position into a yield-producing asset. A covered call on Realty Income Corp involves holding the underlying stock and selling a call option against it, collecting premium in exchange for capping upside at the strike price. Use our scanner to find the best O covered calls in real time and filter for the strikes, expiries, and premiums that fit your strategy.

A covered call is one of the most widely used options strategies because it pairs limited risk with a clear income profile: if O stays below the strike at expiration, you keep the premium and the shares; if it rises above, you deliver the stock at the strike and still pocket the premium. Selling O covered calls works best when implied volatility is elevated, since richer premiums improve the risk-reward. Key inputs to evaluate include strike selection relative to delta, days to expiration, annualized return, and the probability of assignment — all of which determine whether a given Realty Income Corp covered call is worth writing.
