Optionable companies ranked by wheel-strategy suitability
This screener reviews and suggests businesses that are genuinely profitable (positive net income and operating cash flow), have stable or growing revenue, and have listed options (weekly or monthly) — the minimum required to run a wheel strategy. The Wheel score ranks each company by how suitable it is for selling covered calls and cash-secured puts: a blend of fundamental safety, volatility profile, earnings proximity, price level, and options liquidity. It is a risk-avoidance metric, not a return forecast.
