Is it risky to sell options on Blackstone Inc. (BX) right now?

Over a 4-week expiry window, Blackstone Inc. (BX) scores 57 out of 100 for options catalyst risk (MEDIUM). What pushes it there: an upcoming earnings report, 2 recent news items and 10 active legal filings, all landing inside the 4-week window. MEDIUM covers 45 to 69: there is something on BX's calendar worth reading before you pick an expiry, without it dominating the trade. Direction is not part of what the score measures.

BX shows an IV Rank of 60, putting implied volatility in the middle of its one-year range — options are moderately priced, with a current implied volatility of about 42%. IV Rank is the most useful figure for deciding whether to sell or buy premium on BX.

The 2026-10-22 earnings report sits inside a standard monthly expiry for BX, so implied volatility should stay bid into the date and drop sharply once it passes.

Blackstone Inc. (BX) current implied volatility and IV Rank

Blackstone Inc. (BX) currently has an IV Rank of 60 with implied volatility around 42%, alongside a TickerRisk options-risk score of 57/100. BX's options are priced near the middle of their own yearly range — unremarkable volatility, so the trade has to stand on its own thesis rather than on rich or cheap premium.

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

Blackstone Inc. (BX) next earnings date — 2026-10-22

Blackstone Inc. (BX) reports earnings on 2026-10-22 — about 46 days away, which falls inside a typical options expiry window. BX's IV Rank is currently 60. 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.
