Is it risky to sell options on HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC (HON) right now?

HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC (HON) currently scores 86 out of 100 for options catalyst risk (HIGH) over a 4-week expiry window. The contributing signals are an upcoming earnings report, 1 recent news item and 10 active legal filings within the 4-week window. Anything at 70 or above counts as HIGH, meaning the premium on HON 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.

HON shows an IV Rank of 40, 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 34%. IV Rank answers how HON options are priced against their own history, which is the starting point for choosing between selling and buying premium.

HON reports on 2026-10-22. Any expiry beyond that date carries the gap, and the implied volatility priced in beforehand typically collapses the morning after.

HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC (HON) current implied volatility and IV Rank

HON is trading at an IV Rank of 40 with implied volatility around 34%, alongside a TickerRisk options-risk score of 86/100. That's low — options are cheap relative to the past year, which favours premium-buying strategies such as long calls, long puts and debit spreads when you expect a move.

IV Rank is an index, not a percentage — it says where HON's implied volatility sits inside its own 1-year range. How to read IV Rank →

HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC (HON) next earnings date — 2026-10-22

The next HON report lands on 2026-10-22 — about 1 day away — inside the window a typical monthly option would span. HON's IV Rank is currently 40. 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.
