Dividend + Covered Call Screener
The dividend + covered-call screener ranks dividend-paying US stocks by combined annualized dividend yield + covered-call premium yield, with an ex-dividend early-assignment risk score. Typical top candidates are high-yield mature names with liquid weekly options: T, VZ, PFE, KO, XOM, CVX, JNJ, MRK, ABBV, and BAC. Screening produces a ranked list where you can see both income streams and the assignment-risk profile side by side.
The critical hidden cost on this strategy is early assignment before ex-dividend. When the upcoming dividend exceeds the call's remaining time value, deep-ITM calls get exercised early and you lose the dividend without capturing the premium's time decay. Our screener flags this in every row. Read covered calls on dividend stocks for the full mechanics, or the methodology for the ex-div assignment-risk score.
Find stocks producing the maximum combined income from dividends + covered-call premium. Each row shows dividend yield, CC yield, the combined yield, a dividend-safety score, and 5-year dividend growth. Updates every 5 minutes.
