Is it risky to sell options on Howmet Aerospace Inc. (HWM) right now?
For a 4-week expiry, Howmet Aerospace Inc. (HWM) carries an options catalyst-risk score of 100 out of 100 (HIGH). What pushes it there: an upcoming earnings report, 19 recent news items and 4 active legal filings, all landing inside the 4-week window. Anything at 70 or above counts as HIGH, meaning the premium on HWM 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.
HWM shows an IV Rank of 23, 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 38%. Read IV Rank alongside the catalyst score: it says how expensive HWM options are, while the score says whether that price is justified by a scheduled event.
HWM is scheduled to report earnings on 2026-11-05, which falls inside a typical monthly options expiry — expect elevated implied volatility into the event and an IV crush afterward.
Howmet Aerospace Inc. (HWM) current implied volatility and IV Rank
HWM's IV Rank stands at 23 right now with implied volatility around 38%, alongside a TickerRisk options-risk score of 100/100. Options on HWM are inexpensive by its own recent history. Long premium and debit structures get more for their money at this level, while sellers are being paid little to carry the risk.
IV Rank is an index, not a percentage — it says where HWM's implied volatility sits inside its own 1-year range. How to read IV Rank →
Howmet Aerospace Inc. (HWM) next earnings date — 2026-11-05
Howmet Aerospace Inc. (HWM) is scheduled to report on 2026-11-05 — about 60 days away, so a standard expiry would carry straight through it. HWM's IV Rank is currently 23. Implied volatility tends to build into the date and drop sharply once results are public. If the premium on HWM looks unusually generous right now, this is the most likely reason.
