Is it risky to sell options on CHEVRON CORP (CVX) right now?

For a 4-week expiry, CHEVRON CORP (CVX) carries an options catalyst-risk score of 40 out of 100 (LOW). What pushes it there: an upcoming earnings report, 2 recent news items and 9 active legal filings, all landing 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 CVX cannot fall.

CVX shows an IV Rank of 82 — implied volatility is near the top of its own one-year range, so CVX options are historically expensive, which favours premium-selling strategies, with a current implied volatility of about 32%. Read IV Rank alongside the catalyst score: it says how expensive CVX options are, while the score says whether that price is justified by a scheduled event.

The 2026-10-30 earnings report sits inside a standard monthly expiry for CVX, so implied volatility should stay bid into the date and drop sharply once it passes.

CHEVRON CORP (CVX) current implied volatility and IV Rank

CHEVRON CORP (CVX) currently has an IV Rank of 82 with implied volatility around 32%, alongside a TickerRisk options-risk score of 40/100. That's high — options are expensive relative to the past year, which favours premium-selling strategies such as credit spreads, iron condors and covered calls, provided no binary catalyst is working against you.

For what this number does and does not tell you about CVX's options, see IV Rank explained.

CHEVRON CORP (CVX) next earnings date — 2026-10-30

The next CVX report lands on 2026-10-30 — about 54 days away — inside the window a typical monthly option would span. CVX's IV Rank is currently 82. 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.
