Is it risky to sell options on AUTOZONE INC (AZO) right now?

Over a 4-week expiry window, AUTOZONE INC (AZO) scores 91 out of 100 for options catalyst risk (HIGH). What pushes it there: 4 recent news items and 10 active legal filings, all landing inside the 4-week window. A HIGH reading (70+) means AZO 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.

AZO shows an IV Rank of 100 — implied volatility is near the top of its own one-year range, so AZO options are historically expensive, which favours premium-selling strategies, with a current implied volatility of about 53%. IV Rank is the most useful figure for deciding whether to sell or buy premium on AZO.

AZO does not report again until 2026-12-08, so near-dated expiries avoid it.
