Over a 4-week expiry window, AbbVie Inc. (ABBV) scores 100 out of 100 for options catalyst risk (HIGH). What pushes it there: 10 recent news items, 10 active legal filings, 1 recent SEC event and 32 clinical-trial catalysts, all landing inside the 4-week window.

IV Rank is the most useful figure for deciding whether to sell or buy premium on ABBV.

ABBV does not report again until 2026-10-29, so near-dated expiries avoid it.
