Is it risky to sell options on AES CORP (AES) right now?

AES CORP (AES) currently scores 97 out of 100 for options catalyst risk (HIGH) over a 4-week expiry window. The contributing signals are an upcoming earnings report, 4 recent news items, 10 active legal filings and 1 recent SEC event within the 4-week window. A HIGH reading (70+) means AES has a dated event inside the window, so an option sold here carries gap risk that time decay alone will not pay for. The score ranks event exposure, not the likely direction of the move.

AES shows an IV Rank of 54, putting implied volatility in the middle of its one-year range — options are moderately priced, with a current implied volatility of about 47%. Read IV Rank alongside the catalyst score: it says how expensive AES options are, while the score says whether that price is justified by a scheduled event.

AES is scheduled to report earnings on 2026-11-04, which falls inside a typical monthly options expiry — expect elevated implied volatility into the event and an IV crush afterward.

AES CORP (AES) current implied volatility and IV Rank

AES CORP (AES) next earnings date — 2026-11-04

The next AES report lands on 2026-11-04 — about 14 days away — inside the window a typical monthly option would span. AES's IV Rank is currently 54. That matters more than any other single date on the calendar: the stock can gap overnight on the print, and any premium you collect now is partly payment for carrying that gap. Sellers who want the volatility crush without the gap generally choose an expiry that ends before the report.
