Verizon generates most revenue from wireless service subscriptions (~70M postpaid connections) plus broadband/Fios fiber. Yields ~5.7% with 22 consecutive annual increases and ultra-low beta (~0.30). Classic defensive income play — put premiums are cheap, reflecting genuinely low vol. Best used as portfolio ballast, not premium income.

⚠️ Single-name concentration. Consider diversifying across multiple tickers — or use a Bull Put Spread to commit less collateral per trade.
Calculator assumptions
Cash-secured puts require holding cash equal to strike × 100 shares as collateral. Strike defaults to ~5% OTM, snapped to typical exchange increments. Premium defaults to ~2% of strike — adjust to your real expected fill. Annualized ROC = (premium ÷ collateral) × (365 ÷ DTE). CSP risk is single-name concentration: experienced put-sellers typically diversify across 4–6 underlyings rather than committing the whole account to one ticker. Continuous-rolling projections assume capital can be re-deployed after each expiration and that comparable premiums remain available — actual results vary with market conditions, assignments, and rolls.
