Covered Call Position Established in Amazon.com Inc.

Today my buy/write net debit limit order was executed at a price of $221.79 when 100 shares of Amazon.com Inc. (ticker symbol AMZN) stock was purchased at $230.91 and 1 January 30th, 2026 $225.00 Call option was sold at $9.12 per share.  The potential time value profit if the stock is in-the-money and therefore closed out by assignment on the options expiration date is $3.21 per share [$9.12 Call option premium - ($230.91 stock purchase price - $225.00 strike price)].  The probability that this Amazon Call option will be above the $225.00 strike price on the 1/30/2026 options expiration date when this Covered Call position was established was 65.9%.

This position replaces the Amazon.com Inc. Covered Call that was assigned on last Friday's options expiration, so this position is a continuation by my establishing another in-the-money Covered Call position in Amazon.  As I prefer, the next earnings report on February 5th, 2026 is after the January 30th, 2026 options expiration date. 

The average target price of the analysts covering Amazon.com stock is $294.40 (+27.5% above today's stock purchase price).  Also, LSEG Stock Reports Plus has a Buy rating with an Average Score of 7 and an Optimized Score of 9 (on a scale of 1 to 10). Amazon.com also passed all criteria in my customized "Current and Future Earnings Growers" stock screener as detailed in the chart below:
