Covered Call Position Established in Amazon.com Inc.

Early in this morning's trading session, my buy/write net debit limit order was executed at a price of $188.90 when 100 shares of Amazon.com Inc. (ticker symbol AMZN) stock was purchased at $197.77 and 1 February 27th, 2026 $192.50 Call option was sold at $8.87 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 $3.60 per share [$8.87 Call option premium - ($197.77 stock purchase price - $192.50 strike price)].  The probability that this Amazon Call option will be above the $192.50 strike price on the 2/27/2026 options expiration date when this Covered Call position was established was 64.9%.

The average target price of the analysts covering Amazon.com stock is $285.95 (+44.6% above today's stock purchase price).  Amazon.com also passed all criteria in my customized "Quality+Growth" stock screener as detailed in the chart below:

As detailed below, a potential return-on-investment result is +1.9% absolute return-on-investment (equivalent to +49.6% annualized return-on-investment for the next 14 days) if Amazon's share price is in-the-money (i.e. above the $192.50 strike price) and therefore assigned on its February 27th, 2026 options expiration date.
