▶How to use this page

▶How CC Score is calculated

FormulaCC Score = Income (22%) + Safety (18%) + Liquidity (18%) + Quality (14%) + Event (12%) + IV (8%) + Execution (8%)

Inputs

Annualized return, delta, bid-ask spread, open interest, earnings proximity, IV rank, DTE

Data source

VolRadar proprietary composite score using ORATS chain data

Limitations

CC Score optimizes for income generation, not total return. Covered calls cap upside — stocks that rally strongly will underperform a buy-and-hold approach. Past CC returns do not predict future yields.

FAQ

What is the best covered call for HST right now?▾

Covered call data for Host Hotels & Resorts is updated daily after market close. Check back for the latest ranked opportunities.

What delta levels are available for HST covered calls?▾

For Host Hotels & Resorts, 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.

How does the CC Score work for HST covered calls?▾

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 Host Hotels & Resorts.

Are weekly or monthly covered calls better for HST?▾

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 Host Hotels & Resorts, current elevated IV makes both viable — weeklies capture the rich premium faster. The CC Score ranks both DTE ranges so you can compare directly.

What is the main risk of running a covered call on HST?▾

The primary risk is capped upside: if Host Hotels & Resorts rallies sharply, you are obligated to sell at the strike price and miss gains above it. 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.

Is now a good time to sell covered calls on HST?▾

Host Hotels & Resorts's IV Rank is 31%, which is relatively low. Premiums may be thin. Consider waiting for IV to rise, using shorter DTE to maintain adequate annualized returns, or moving closer to the money if you are comfortable with the assignment risk.

Why is there no covered call data for HST?▾

Covered call data for Host Hotels & Resorts requires options with sufficient liquidity and standard expirations. If no data appears, it may be outside market hours, the ticker may have limited options activity, or data is still being processed. VolRadar updates covered call rankings daily after market close.
