Is it risky to sell options on CISCO SYSTEMS, INC. (CSCO) right now?
For a 4-week expiry, CISCO SYSTEMS, INC. (CSCO) carries an options catalyst-risk score of 80 out of 100 (HIGH). That score is driven by an upcoming earnings report, 6 recent news items and 3 active legal filings falling inside the 4-week window. A HIGH reading (70+) means CSCO has a dated event inside the window, so an option sold here carries gap risk that time decay alone will not pay for. The score ranks event exposure, not the likely direction of the move.
CSCO shows an IV Rank of 96 — implied volatility is near the top of its own one-year range, so CSCO options are historically expensive, which favours premium-selling strategies, with a current implied volatility of about 54%. Read IV Rank alongside the catalyst score: it says how expensive CSCO options are, while the score says whether that price is justified by a scheduled event.
CSCO reports on 2026-08-12. Any expiry beyond that date carries the gap, and the implied volatility priced in beforehand typically collapses the morning after.
