V Options FAQ

Visa's business model generates predictable transaction-fee revenue that grows steadily. Low earnings volatility (typically 3-5% moves) and a wide moat reduce uncertainty, keeping IV suppressed compared to most stocks.

Visa's low IV makes it better for buying strategies (LEAPS, debit spreads) when you have a directional thesis. For income, covered calls work but premium is modest. Selling strategies shine more on higher-IV names.
