Is it risky to sell options on JOHNSON & JOHNSON (JNJ) right now?

JOHNSON & JOHNSON (JNJ) currently scores 100 out of 100 for options catalyst risk (HIGH) over a 4-week expiry window. What pushes it there: 12 recent news items, 10 active legal filings and 47 clinical-trial catalysts, all landing inside the 4-week window. Anything at 70 or above counts as HIGH, meaning the premium on JNJ 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.

JNJ shows an IV Rank of 59, putting implied volatility in the middle of its one-year range — options are moderately priced, with a current implied volatility of about 25%. Read IV Rank alongside the catalyst score: it says how expensive JNJ options are, while the score says whether that price is justified by a scheduled event.

The next JNJ report is not until 2026-10-13, beyond the near-term window.
