The top-ranked covered call for Comcast is the $31 strike expiring 2026-04-24 (23 DTE), offering 8.5% annualized return with a delta of 0.12. It earns a CC Score of 63 out of 100. Data is updated daily after market close.

For Comcast, delta 0.20–0.30 is a common range for covered calls. This gives 70–80% probability of the option expiring worthless while collecting meaningful premium. Lower delta (0.15–0.20) is more conservative, while 0.30–0.40 generates more income but has higher assignment probability.

The CC Score (0–100) ranks covered call opportunities across 7 dimensions: Income potential (22%), Safety (18%), Liquidity (18%), Underlying Quality (14%), Event Safety (12%), IV Opportunity (8%), and Execution Quality (8%). Higher scores mean better risk-adjusted opportunities. Sort by CC Score to find the best strike and expiration combo for Comcast.

Weekly covered calls (7–14 DTE) offer faster theta decay and more flexibility but require active management. Monthly covered calls (30–45 DTE) balance time premium with less frequent rolling. For Comcast, current elevated IV makes both viable — weeklies capture the rich premium faster. The CC Score ranks both DTE ranges so you can compare directly.

The primary risk is capped upside: if Comcast rallies sharply, you are obligated to sell at the strike price and miss gains above it. At the current top-ranked $31 strike (11.1% OTM), any rally beyond that level means you sell shares below market price. To contextualize: covered calls are best suited for sideways-to-mildly-bullish outlooks. If you expect a significant move higher, consider waiting to sell the call or using a wider strike. The CC Score penalizes strikes with elevated event risk to help you avoid the worst setups.
