This week's Covered Call Research Cycle Champion isn't the highest-yielding name on the list — it's the one with the best combination of factors.

March 2026 CCR Framework results: $85,633.77 total premium collected across 25 positions. Portfolio premium efficiency: 18.14%. Ten positions assigned — AA, CIEN, CLMT, INTC, NTGR, SEDG, SNDK, STX, WDC — each exited at the defined strike with full premium retained. That's a designed outcome. Non-assigned positions reset immediately into April. Capital stays continuously deployed, cycle after cycle. This is the CCR Framework in motion. coveredcallresearch.com
