NFLX — Cash-Secured Put & Wheel Strategy Analysis

Q: Is NFLX a good wheel strategy stock right now?

NFLX is trading at $70.09 with an ATR of $2.59. NFLX is trading below all four moving averages — a downtrend. Next earnings report is October 20, 2026 (88 days away). Earnings is far enough out that current premiums reflect normal implied volatility.

Q: Should I close my NFLX CSP before earnings?

Most wheel strategy traders close or roll CSPs 1–2 days before earnings because implied volatility typically collapses after the announcement (IV crush). The premium you collected is largely an upfront payment for accepting that volatility risk. Holding through earnings exposes you to gap risk: even if your strike isn't breached, the IV drop alone can wipe out most of the premium you collected.

Stars on this page mark strikes currently in our Super Stocks cache. As of this snapshot, the highest-yielding CSP candidate on NFLX is the $71.00 strike at 473.0% annualized.

Is NFLX a good wheel strategy stock right now?

NFLX is trading at $70.09 with an ATR of $2.59. NFLX is trading below all four moving averages — a downtrend. Next earnings report is October 20, 2026 (88 days away). Earnings is far enough out that current premiums reflect normal implied volatility.

How much capital do I need to sell a NFLX cash-secured put?

Cash-secured puts require you to hold enough cash to buy 100 shares at the strike price if assigned. For a $71.00 strike on NFLX, you need $7,100 in cash per contract. Strikes closer to the current $70.09 price require more capital but offer higher premiums and lower assignment probability.

What does the wheel strategy look like on NFLX?

The wheel on NFLX follows three steps: (1) sell a CSP at a strike you'd be comfortable owning NFLX at; (2) if assigned, you own 100 shares at the strike price; (3) sell covered calls against those shares to collect premium while waiting for the call to expire worthless or the stock to be called away. OptionSpeed tracks every step so you can see your rolling premium and realized P&L.

Should I close my NFLX CSP before earnings?

Most wheel traders close or roll CSPs 1–2 days before earnings because implied volatility typically collapses after the announcement (IV crush). The premium you collected is largely an upfront payment for accepting that volatility risk. Holding through earnings exposes you to gap risk — even if your strike isn't breached, the IV drop alone can wipe out most of your collected premium.

What's a good buffer percentage for NFLX puts?

Buffer percentage measures how far the strike is below the current stock price. For NFLX at $70.09, a strike at $65.00 gives the largest downside buffer in our current chain. OptionSpeed flags strikes with ≥15% buffer as wheel-quality candidates. Lower buffer = higher premium but higher assignment probability.
