Is it risky to sell options on QUEST DIAGNOSTICS INC (DGX) right now?
QUEST DIAGNOSTICS INC (DGX) currently scores 56 out of 100 for options catalyst risk (MEDIUM) over a 4-week expiry window. That score is driven by an upcoming earnings report, 8 recent news items, 8 active legal filings, 1 recent SEC event and 14 clinical-trial catalysts 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 DGX will move.
DGX shows an IV Rank of 39, near the low end of its one-year range — options are relatively cheap, which favours option buyers over sellers, with a current implied volatility of about 27%. IV Rank answers how DGX options are priced against their own history, which is the starting point for choosing between selling and buying premium.
DGX reports on 2026-10-20. Any expiry beyond that date carries the gap, and the implied volatility priced in beforehand typically collapses the morning after.
QUEST DIAGNOSTICS INC (DGX) current implied volatility and IV Rank
As of the latest scan, QUEST DIAGNOSTICS INC (DGX) shows an IV Rank of 39 with implied volatility around 27%, alongside a TickerRisk options-risk score of 56/100. Options on DGX are inexpensive by its own recent history. Long premium and debit structures get more for their money at this level, while sellers are being paid little to carry the risk.

QUEST DIAGNOSTICS INC (DGX) next earnings date — 2026-10-20
QUEST DIAGNOSTICS INC (DGX) is scheduled to report on 2026-10-20 — about 44 days away, so a standard expiry would carry straight through it. DGX's IV Rank is currently 39. Implied volatility tends to build into the date and drop sharply once results are public. If the premium on DGX looks unusually generous right now, this is the most likely reason.
