Covered Calls on Undervalued Stocks
This screen starts with intrinsic-value filtering — a positive margin of safety from 19 valuation methods plus the SAVE quality score — and then layers on covered-call income metrics. If-called return is the capital gain up to the strike plus the premium collected, as a percent of cost; downside protection is the premium expressed as a cushion percent. Everything below is descriptive research on live data, not advice.
When a real option chain is unavailable, the premium shown is a model estimate from a Black-Scholes calculation on an at-the-money 30-day call, flagged inline. Rows link to a full stock page. Want to dig deeper? Read how to sell covered calls or try the free screener demo.

Common Questions
What is if-called return?
If-called return is the total return a covered-call holder would realize if the stock finishes at or above the strike at expiration and the shares are called away. It combines the capital gain from the purchase price up to the strike with the option premium collected, expressed as a percent of the cost basis: (strike − price + premium) ÷ price. It describes one defined outcome of the position; it is not a forecast of where the stock will trade.
What is downside protection?
Downside protection is the cushion the option premium provides if the stock falls. It is the premium received as a percent of the purchase price: premium ÷ price. A 4% figure means the premium offsets roughly the first 4% of a decline before the position is underwater versus simply owning the shares. It quantifies a buffer; it is not a guarantee against loss, and a larger decline can still exceed the premium collected.
Why combine valuation with covered calls?
A covered call is written on shares you hold, so the quality of the underlying matters. Pairing intrinsic-value filtering — a positive margin of safety from 19 valuation methods plus the SAVE quality score — with the income metrics aims to start from a fundamentally sound, attractively valued business rather than chasing premium on a deteriorating one. The valuation lens describes how the price compares with modeled fair value; the option metrics describe the income and cushion of the overlay. Both are descriptive research inputs, not advice.
