Verizon Communications Inc.
Verizon pairs a low share price with one of the highest dividend yields in the S&P 500, making it a favorite yield-stacking covered-call name. Range-bound action suits sellers writing near-the-money strikes.
IV typically 16–26%. The stock trades in a tight band, so assignment risk on modest OTM calls is low.

IV typically 16–26%. The stock trades in a tight band, so assignment risk on modest OTM calls is low. The exact yield on any specific VZ covered call depends on the strike you choose and how many days remain until expiration — the calculator above pulls live option-chain quotes and projects the annualized return for any strike/expiration combination instantly.
VZ's implied volatility expands meaningfully in the weeks leading up to an earnings report, then collapses after the event ("IV crush"). Most disciplined VZ covered call sellers either skip the earnings cycle entirely or write a strike materially wider than usual to compensate for the elevated single-day move risk. The calculator's "If called away" row shows your worst-case capped upside if the stock gaps through the strike.
Pick an expiration and strike from the live VZ option chain, set your contracts and cost basis, and the calculator computes your premium received, breakeven, capital at risk, return-if-flat, return-if-called, and annualized yield. Everything updates instantly with no signup required.
