Is it risky to sell options on FRANKLIN RESOURCES INC (BEN) right now?

For a 4-week expiry, FRANKLIN RESOURCES INC (BEN) carries an options catalyst-risk score of 40 out of 100 (LOW). That score is driven by an upcoming earnings report, 10 active legal filings and 7 recent SEC events falling inside the 4-week window. On TickerRisk's scale anything below 45 is LOW, meaning no major scheduled catalyst was found in this window. That is not a guarantee against an unscheduled move — it means the calendar is clear, not that BEN cannot fall.

BEN shows an IV Rank of 14, 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 37%. Read IV Rank alongside the catalyst score: it says how expensive BEN options are, while the score says whether that price is justified by a scheduled event.

BEN reports on 2026-11-06. Any expiry beyond that date carries the gap, and the implied volatility priced in beforehand typically collapses the morning after; the stock has moved up 3.5% recently.

FRANKLIN RESOURCES INC (BEN) current implied volatility and IV Rank

The most recent read on FRANKLIN RESOURCES INC (BEN) puts its IV Rank at 14 with implied volatility around 37%, alongside a TickerRisk options-risk score of 40/100. That is toward the bottom of its 12-month range, so premium is thin. Selling here pays poorly for the risk taken; if you expect a move, buying the move is the cheaper side.

IV Rank is an index, not a percentage — it says where BEN's implied volatility sits inside its own 1-year range. How to read IV Rank →

FRANKLIN RESOURCES INC (BEN) next earnings date — 2026-11-06

FRANKLIN RESOURCES INC (BEN) reports earnings on 2026-11-06 — about 61 days away, which falls inside a typical options expiry window. BEN's IV Rank is currently 14. 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.
