Is it risky to sell options on LOWES COMPANIES INC (LOW) right now?
For a 4-week expiry, LOWES COMPANIES INC (LOW) carries an options catalyst-risk score of 100 out of 100 (HIGH). The contributing signals are an upcoming earnings report, 3 recent news items and 10 active legal filings within the 4-week window. A HIGH reading (70+) means LOW 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.
LOW shows an IV Rank of 100 — implied volatility is near the top of its own one-year range, so LOW options are historically expensive, which favours premium-selling strategies, with a current implied volatility of about 39%. Read IV Rank alongside the catalyst score: it says how expensive LOW options are, while the score says whether that price is justified by a scheduled event.
LOW is scheduled to report earnings on 2026-08-19, which falls inside a typical monthly options expiry — expect elevated implied volatility into the event and an IV crush afterward.
