About PEN

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

PEN Covered Call Strategy

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

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

How to Run a Covered Call on PEN

01
Own 100 Shares
You must own at least 100 shares of PEN 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 PEN 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 PEN does next.
04
Manage at Expiry
If PEN stays below your strike, the option expires worthless and you keep the premium. If it rises above, shares get called away at the strike.
