What pushes it there: an upcoming earnings report, 9 recent news items and 8 active legal filings, all landing 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 HST will move.

HST shows an IV Rank of 60, putting implied volatility in the middle of its one-year range — options are moderately priced, with a current implied volatility of about 51%. Read IV Rank alongside the catalyst score: it says how expensive HST options are, while the score says whether that price is justified by a scheduled event.

The 2026-11-04 earnings report sits inside a standard monthly expiry for HST, so implied volatility should stay bid into the date and drop sharply once it passes.

HOST HOTELS & RESORTS, INC. (HST) current implied volatility and IV Rank

HOST HOTELS & RESORTS, INC. (HST) currently has an IV Rank of 60 with implied volatility around 51%, alongside a TickerRisk options-risk score of 46/100. HST's options are priced near the middle of their own yearly range — unremarkable volatility, so the trade has to stand on its own thesis rather than on rich or cheap premium.

HOST HOTELS & RESORTS, INC. (HST) next earnings date — 2026-11-04

HOST HOTELS & RESORTS, INC. (HST) reports earnings on 2026-11-04 — about 59 days away, which falls inside a typical options expiry window. HST's IV Rank is currently 60. Earnings are the single biggest scheduled catalyst for an overnight gap: implied volatility usually runs up into the report and collapses immediately after (the IV crush). Selling premium into the event captures that crush but exposes you to the gap; buying premium needs a move large enough to beat the elevated IV you paid.
