Is it risky to sell options on MGM Resorts International (MGM) right now?
For a 4-week expiry, MGM Resorts International (MGM) carries an options catalyst-risk score of 79 out of 100 (HIGH). That score is driven by an upcoming earnings report, 5 recent news items and 10 active legal filings falling inside the 4-week window. Anything at 70 or above counts as HIGH, meaning the premium on MGM 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.
MGM shows an IV Rank of 44, 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 45%. Read IV Rank alongside the catalyst score: it says how expensive MGM options are, while the score says whether that price is justified by a scheduled event.
MGM is scheduled to report earnings on 2026-07-29, which falls inside a typical monthly options expiry — expect elevated implied volatility into the event and an IV crush afterward.
