About CDNA

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

Strategy

Covered calls on CDNA 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 CDNA, you can sell 1 call contract per 100 shares to generate consistent monthly income.

Covered calls on CDNA 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 CDNA

01

Own 100 Shares

You must own at least 100 shares of CDNA 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 CDNA 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 CDNA does next.

04

Manage at Expiry

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