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 38 out of 100 (LOW). That score is driven by an upcoming earnings report, 5 recent news items and 10 active legal filings falling inside the 4-week window. Below 45 is LOW: MGM's calendar looks clear across this window. Unscheduled news can still move any stock, so a low score is the absence of a known event, not the absence of risk.

MGM shows an IV Rank of 64, putting implied volatility in the middle of its one-year range — options are moderately priced, with a current implied volatility of about 52%. 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 2026-10-28, which falls inside a typical monthly options expiry — expect elevated implied volatility into the event and an IV crush afterward.

MGM Resorts International (MGM) next earnings date — 2026-10-28

The next MGM report lands on 2026-10-28 — about 52 days away — inside the window a typical monthly option would span. MGM's IV Rank is currently 64. That matters more than any other single date on the calendar: the stock can gap overnight on the print, and any premium you collect now is partly payment for carrying that gap. Sellers who want the volatility crush without the gap generally choose an expiry that ends before the report.
