Is it risky to sell options on ALIGN TECHNOLOGY INC (ALGN) right now?
Over a 4-week expiry window, ALIGN TECHNOLOGY INC (ALGN) scores 100 out of 100 for options catalyst risk (HIGH). What pushes it there: an upcoming earnings report, 13 recent news items, 1 active legal filing and 23 clinical-trial catalysts, all landing inside the 4-week window. Anything at 70 or above counts as HIGH, meaning the premium on ALGN is at least partly compensation for a scheduled event rather than pure time value. It says nothing about direction — only that something is on the calendar.
ALGN shows an IV Rank of 78 — implied volatility is near the top of its own one-year range, so ALGN options are historically expensive, which favours premium-selling strategies, with a current implied volatility of about 55%. IV Rank answers how ALGN options are priced against their own history, which is the starting point for choosing between selling and buying premium.
ALGN is scheduled to report earnings on 2026-10-28, which falls inside a typical monthly options expiry — expect elevated implied volatility into the event and an IV crush afterward.
ALIGN TECHNOLOGY INC (ALGN) current implied volatility and IV Rank
ALGN's IV Rank stands at 78 right now with implied volatility around 55%, alongside a TickerRisk options-risk score of 100/100. That is expensive by ALGN's own standards. Elevated IV Rank rewards defined-risk premium selling, and it is also the market's way of saying it expects movement; the question worth answering is what it expects to move on.
IV Rank is an index, not a percentage — it says where ALGN's implied volatility sits inside its own 1-year range. How to read IV Rank →
ALIGN TECHNOLOGY INC (ALGN) next earnings date — 2026-10-28
ALIGN TECHNOLOGY INC (ALGN) is scheduled to report on 2026-10-28 — about 7 days away, so a standard expiry would carry straight through it. ALGN's IV Rank is currently 78. Implied volatility tends to build into the date and drop sharply once results are public. If the premium on ALGN looks unusually generous right now, this is the most likely reason.
