About OXY

Occidental Petroleum Corp is a publicly traded stock commonly used in covered call strategies to generate consistent income from existing positions.

OXY Covered Call Strategy

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

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

How to Run a Covered Call on OXY

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