Is it risky to sell options on CLOROX CO /DE/ (CLX) right now?
Over a 4-week expiry window, CLOROX CO /DE/ (CLX) scores 69 out of 100 for options catalyst risk (MEDIUM). That score is driven by an upcoming earnings report, 2 recent news items and 3 active legal filings falling inside the 4-week window. On TickerRisk's scale 45 to 69 is MEDIUM, meaning something in the 4-week window is worth checking before committing to an expiry. The score measures scheduled event exposure, not the direction CLX will move.
CLX shows an IV Rank of 52, putting implied volatility in the middle of its one-year range — options are moderately priced, with a current implied volatility of about 37%. IV Rank is the most useful figure for deciding whether to sell or buy premium on CLX.
The 2026-11-02 earnings report sits inside a standard monthly expiry for CLX, so implied volatility should stay bid into the date and drop sharply once it passes.
CLOROX CO /DE/ (CLX) current implied volatility and IV Rank
As of the latest scan, CLOROX CO /DE/ (CLX) shows an IV Rank of 52 with implied volatility around 37%, alongside a TickerRisk options-risk score of 69/100. 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.
IV Rank is an index, not a percentage — it says where CLX's implied volatility sits inside its own 1-year range. How to read IV Rank →
CLOROX CO /DE/ (CLX) next earnings date — 2026-11-02
CLOROX CO /DE/ (CLX) reports earnings on 2026-11-02 — about 12 days away, which falls inside a typical options expiry window. CLX's IV Rank is currently 52. 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.
