Is it risky to sell options on APPLIED MATERIALS INC /DE (AMAT) right now?
For a 4-week expiry, APPLIED MATERIALS INC /DE (AMAT) carries an options catalyst-risk score of 88 out of 100 (HIGH). The contributing signals are an upcoming earnings report, 2 recent news items and 3 active legal filings within the 4-week window. Anything at 70 or above counts as HIGH, meaning the premium on AMAT 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.
AMAT shows an IV Rank of 10, near the low end of its one-year range — options are relatively cheap, which favours option buyers over sellers, with a current implied volatility of about 55%. Read IV Rank alongside the catalyst score: it says how expensive AMAT options are, while the score says whether that price is justified by a scheduled event.
The 2026-11-12 earnings report sits inside a standard monthly expiry for AMAT, so implied volatility should stay bid into the date and drop sharply once it passes.
