Is it risky to sell options on DANAHER CORP /DE/ (DHR) right now?
DANAHER CORP /DE/ (DHR) currently scores 81 out of 100 for options catalyst risk (HIGH) over a 4-week expiry window. What pushes it there: 6 recent news items, 5 active legal filings and 1 recent SEC event, all landing inside the 4-week window. Anything at 70 or above counts as HIGH, meaning the premium on DHR is at least partly compensation for a scheduled event rather than pure time value. It says nothing about direction — only that something is on the calendar.
DHR shows an IV Rank of 44, 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 36%. Read IV Rank alongside the catalyst score: it says how expensive DHR options are, while the score says whether that price is justified by a scheduled event.
The next DHR report is not until 2026-10-21, beyond the near-term window; the stock has moved up 6.5% recently.
