Optionable Stocks — Symbols Starting with “B”

What Are Optionable Stocks?

An optionable stock is a stock, ETF, or index that has listed options contracts available for trading on a recognized exchange. Not every publicly traded stock qualifies — the exchange requires that a security meet minimum criteria for share price, trading volume, shares outstanding, and market capitalization before options can be listed.
