Tickers that appeared in the top-20 daily covered call scan most frequently in 2026 โ a measure of reliable options liquidity and consistent premium availability.
Rankings based on total number of trading days each ticker appeared in the daily top-20 scan since January 1, 2026. More appearances = more consistent options premium opportunity throughout the year. Full methodology โ
A consistent covered call stock is one that reliably appears in the top-20 scanner results, meaning it regularly has attractive combinations of IV, liquidity (open interest), and annualized yield. Large-cap tech and healthcare stocks tend to dominate this list.
Consistency in scanner appearances doesn't directly equate to safety โ it means reliable premium availability. Large-cap stocks that appear consistently often have better liquidity, tighter bid-ask spreads, and more predictable IV behavior.
