About

About CAI

Caris Life Sciences, Inc. is a publicly traded stock commonly used in covered call strategies to generate consistent income from existing positions.

Strategy

Covered calls on CAI allow shareholders to collect premium income while holding the stock. The most common approach is selling out-of-the-money calls 30-45 days to expiration (DTE) to balance premium income with potential upside. If you own 100 shares of CAI, you can sell 1 call contract per 100 shares to generate consistent monthly income.

Covered calls on CAI cap your upside at the strike price but provide downside cushion equal to the premium received.

How It Works

How to Run a Covered Call on CAI

01

Own 100 Shares

You must own at least 100 shares of CAI to sell 1 covered call contract. Each options contract covers exactly 100 shares.

02

Choose Strike and Expiry

Select a call strike above the current CAI price (OTM) and an expiry date. 30–45 DTE monthly cycles are most popular for income generation.

03

Sell the Call

Sell 1 call contract to collect the premium immediately into your account. This income is yours regardless of what CAI does next.

04

Manage at Expiry

If CAI stays below your strike, the option expires worthless and you keep the premium. If it rises above, shares get called away at the strike.
