Boeing Co. (NYSE:BA) has been one the most heavily impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. The worldwide travel restrictions have caused an incredible decrease in demand for Boeing products. As a result, the company’s revenue has fallen by about $16 billion and its net income by nearly $4 billion in just the past year.

As for the stock, BA is already down 5% on the year and has taken a 37% haircut in the last 12 months. While the shares are well off their March 18 seven-year lows of $89, they're also a ways off their Feb. 12 annual high of $349.95. The good news? BA's $200 level has emerged as support in recent months.

Plus, the stock has consistently rewarded premium buyers over the past year, per its Schaeffer's Volatility Scorecard (SVS) reading of 80 out of a possible 100. This shows the equity has tended to make larger-than-expected moves on the chart, compared to what the options market has priced in.
