Is it risky to sell options on IDEX CORP /DE/ (IEX) right now?

IDEX CORP /DE/ (IEX) currently scores 72 out of 100 for options catalyst risk (HIGH) over a 4-week expiry window. That score is driven by an upcoming earnings report, 6 recent news items and 6 active legal filings falling inside the 4-week window. A HIGH reading (70+) means IEX 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.

IEX shows an IV Rank of 100 — implied volatility is near the top of its own one-year range, so IEX options are historically expensive, which favours premium-selling strategies, with a current implied volatility of about 49%. IV Rank is the most useful figure for deciding whether to sell or buy premium on IEX.

IEX reports on 2026-10-28. Any expiry beyond that date carries the gap, and the implied volatility priced in beforehand typically collapses the morning after.

IDEX CORP /DE/ (IEX) current implied volatility and IV Rank

IDEX CORP /DE/ (IEX) currently has an IV Rank of 100 with implied volatility around 49%, alongside a TickerRisk options-risk score of 72/100. That is expensive by IEX's own standards. Elevated IV Rank rewards defined-risk premium selling, and it is also the market's way of saying it expects movement; the question worth answering is what it expects to move on.

IDEX CORP /DE/ (IEX) next earnings date — 2026-10-28

IDEX CORP /DE/ (IEX) reports earnings on 2026-10-28 — about 6 days away, which falls inside a typical options expiry window. IEX's IV Rank is currently 100. 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.
