Is it risky to sell options on KROGER CO (KR) right now?
Over a 4-week expiry window, KROGER CO (KR) scores 45 out of 100 for options catalyst risk (MEDIUM). That score is driven by an upcoming earnings report, 3 recent news items and 10 active legal filings falling 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 KR will move.
KR shows an IV Rank of 82 — implied volatility is near the top of its own one-year range, so KR options are historically expensive, which favours premium-selling strategies, with a current implied volatility of about 35%. Read IV Rank alongside the catalyst score: it says how expensive KR options are, while the score says whether that price is justified by a scheduled event.
KR reports on 2026-09-10. Any expiry beyond that date carries the gap, and the implied volatility priced in beforehand typically collapses the morning after.
