WMT covered call FAQ
How much premium does a WMT covered call pay?
In the most recent Friday scan, the top-ranked WMT covered call collected about $2.10 per share — roughly $210.00 per contract (100 shares) — at the $114.00 strike expiring in 29 days.

Do I need 100 shares of WMT to sell a covered call?
Yes. One options contract covers 100 shares, so selling one covered call on WMT requires owning at least 100 shares. If you own fewer, the position would not be "covered."
What is the risk of selling covered calls on WMT?
The main trade-off is capped upside: if Walmart rises above your strike price by expiration, your shares can be called away at the strike. You keep the premium either way, but you give up gains beyond the strike. You also keep full downside exposure to the stock itself. This page is educational information, not investment advice.
