This wheel strategy stock screener filters for companies that are genuinely profitable — positive net income and operating cash flow — with stable or growing revenue and listed options (weekly or monthly), the minimum required to run a covered call or cash-secured put wheel. The Wheel Score ranks each candidate by suitability for options selling: a blend of fundamental safety, implied volatility profile, earnings proximity, share price level, and options liquidity. Use it to find the best stocks for the wheel strategy — not as a return forecast, but as a risk-avoidance filter that keeps you in high-quality, optionable names.
Company first, premium second. Most wheel tools rank contracts by premium. This screen starts with whether you would be comfortable owning the business if a put is assigned, and only then looks at the options. Every company scoring 70+ has a profile showing how often its shares have gapped down and how far they have fallen — the risk you take on when you sell the put.

Minus 8 points per accounting/quality flag. ⚠ beside a ticker = accounting flag (hover for detail). Not a return forecast.

The highest-yielding covered call (CC) and cash-secured put (CSP) contracts from the companies above, ranked by Opportunity Score — a weighted blend of annualised premium yield (40%), out-of-the-money cushion (30%), options liquidity (20%), and delta fit (10%). Selling covered calls means owning shares and collecting upside premium; selling cash-secured puts means holding cash and collecting downside premium. Both generate income upfront with defined risk. Delta is calculated via Black-Scholes from reported implied volatility. Contracts shown have 4–32 days to expiration (DTE) — the sweet spot for theta decay in a weekly or monthly options income strategy. Prices are point-in-time at publication, not live quotes.
