Is it risky to sell options on BEST BUY CO INC (BBY) right now?

BEST BUY CO INC (BBY) currently scores 43 out of 100 for options catalyst risk (LOW) over a 4-week expiry window. The contributing signals are an upcoming earnings report, 8 recent news items and 10 active legal filings within the 4-week window. Below 45 is LOW: BBY's calendar looks clear across this window. Unscheduled news can still move any stock, so a low score is the absence of a known event, not the absence of risk.

BBY shows an IV Rank of 40, 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 38%. Read IV Rank alongside the catalyst score: it says how expensive BBY options are, while the score says whether that price is justified by a scheduled event.

The 2026-11-24 earnings report sits inside a standard monthly expiry for BBY, so implied volatility should stay bid into the date and drop sharply once it passes; the stock has moved up 3.6% recently.

BEST BUY CO INC (BBY) next earnings date — 2026-11-24

BEST BUY CO INC (BBY) reports earnings on 2026-11-24 — about 78 days away, which falls inside a typical options expiry window. BBY's IV Rank is currently 40. Earnings are the single biggest scheduled catalyst for an overnight gap: implied volatility usually runs up into the report and collapses immediately after (the IV crush). Selling premium into the event captures that crush but exposes you to the gap; buying premium needs a move large enough to beat the elevated IV you paid.
