Covered calls on COST
Costco Wholesale was trading at $919.85 when this page was last refreshed on September 30, 2026. The last scan of the COST chain found no call strikes that were both inside the 0.15 to 0.25 delta band and liquid enough to write against, which is a real answer and a fairly common one.
Numbers on this page come from a snapshot taken on September 30, 2026. They are not live quotes and are not refreshed when you load the page.
The last refresh found no call strikes on COST that were both inside the target delta band and liquid enough to bother with. That happens, and it happens most often for the two reasons you would guess: the strikes that pay anything are too close to the money, or the ones far enough out have a book so thin that the quoted premium is not a price anyone would fill you at.
What the premium is priced off
19% at the money is a normal tape for COST. The premium is fair, not generous.
Dates that matter in this window
The earnings calendar was checked and came back clean for the 45-day window. Worth confirming yourself before you write anything: calendars move, and an unconfirmed date is not the same as no date. The stock pays about 0.6% a year, and no ex-dividend date was confirmed inside this window.
Questions people actually ask
What is a good strike for a covered call on COST?
On the last refresh no COST call in that band passed the liquidity screen, so there is no honest answer for this snapshot. Check a live chain rather than taking a stale one.
How much can you make selling covered calls on COST?
Nothing in the last snapshot was writable, so any number here would be invented.
Does OptionsKing recommend selling calls on COST?
No. This page is a dated snapshot of the chain, not a recommendation, and the app has no opinion to offer beyond an ordering. It scores every in-band strike and shows you the best few by rank, with no minimum score anywhere, so a refresh that scored nothing on this ticker would have handed you an empty list for want of candidates, not for want of quality. See how the scoring works and the full disclaimer.
None of these is a pick. This is a dated snapshot of the COST chain from September 30, 2026, and an option chain from last week is history, not a quote.
