CSP candidates for the trading week of September 21, 2026

The top 5 candidates from each account universe as of Friday's market close, September 18. Prices will have moved by Monday's open — treat these as a starting shortlist, not live quotes.

No candidates passed the screen this week.

Big Account universe

TSLA, NVDA, AAPL, and GLD occupy the top four spots, with TSLA leading due to its relatively high delta of 0.28 delivering the highest annualized yield of 28.1%; NVDA follows as a new entrant whose elevated IV rank of 87 boosts its yield to 19.1%; AAPL ranks third because its 0.30 delta also supports a strong 15.9% yield, while GLD’s 0.28 delta yields 12.9% in the broad‑index bucket. TSLA, AAPL, and GLD sit near the middle of their 52‑week ranges, whereas NVDA is in the upper third, and the primary yield drivers—higher delta for TSLA, AAPL, and GLD, and elevated IV rank for NVDA—explain their relative positions.
