Is it risky to sell options on BOSTON SCIENTIFIC CORP (BSX) right now?
BOSTON SCIENTIFIC CORP (BSX) currently scores 91 out of 100 for options catalyst risk (HIGH) over a 4-week expiry window. That score is driven by an upcoming earnings report, 10 recent news items, 4 active legal filings, 1 recent SEC event and 23 clinical-trial catalysts falling inside the 4-week window. Anything at 70 or above counts as HIGH, meaning the premium on BSX 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.
BSX shows an IV Rank of 67, putting implied volatility in the middle of its one-year range — options are moderately priced, with a current implied volatility of about 55%. IV Rank is the most useful figure for deciding whether to sell or buy premium on BSX.
BSX 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.
BOSTON SCIENTIFIC CORP (BSX) current implied volatility and IV Rank
As of the latest scan, BOSTON SCIENTIFIC CORP (BSX) shows an IV Rank of 67 with implied volatility around 55%, alongside a TickerRisk options-risk score of 91/100. That is roughly mid-range for this stock, meaning implied volatility offers neither a clear selling edge nor a bargain. Directional conviction matters more than vol here.

BOSTON SCIENTIFIC CORP (BSX) next earnings date — 2026-10-28
The next BSX report lands on 2026-10-28 — about 52 days away — inside the window a typical monthly option would span. BSX's IV Rank is currently 67. That matters more than any other single date on the calendar: the stock can gap overnight on the print, and any premium you collect now is partly payment for carrying that gap. Sellers who want the volatility crush without the gap generally choose an expiry that ends before the report.
