Is it risky to sell options on Alphabet Inc. (GOOG) right now?
For a 4-week expiry, Alphabet Inc. (GOOG) carries an options catalyst-risk score of 100 out of 100 (HIGH). What pushes it there: 13 recent news items, 10 active legal filings and 2 recent SEC events, all landing inside the 4-week window. A HIGH reading (70+) means GOOG 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.
GOOG shows an IV Rank of 70 — implied volatility is near the top of its own one-year range, so GOOG options are historically expensive, which favours premium-selling strategies, with a current implied volatility of about 39%. Read IV Rank alongside the catalyst score: it says how expensive GOOG options are, while the score says whether that price is justified by a scheduled event.
GOOG's next earnings date is 2026-07-22, outside the near-term options window.
