Is it risky to sell options on General Motors Co (GM) right now?

General Motors Co (GM) currently scores 100 out of 100 for options catalyst risk (HIGH) over a 4-week expiry window. The contributing signals are 6 recent news items, 10 active legal filings and 1 recent SEC event within the 4-week window. A HIGH reading (70+) means GM 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.

GM shows an IV Rank of 56, putting implied volatility in the middle of its one-year range — options are moderately priced, with a current implied volatility of about 42%. IV Rank answers how GM options are priced against their own history, which is the starting point for choosing between selling and buying premium.

The next GM report is not until 2026-10-20, beyond the near-term window.
