Is it risky to sell options on NASDAQ, INC. (NDAQ) right now?

For a 4-week expiry, NASDAQ, INC. (NDAQ) carries an options catalyst-risk score of 100 out of 100 (HIGH). The contributing signals are an upcoming earnings report and 14 recent news items within the 4-week window. On TickerRisk's scale 70 and above is HIGH, so a known event is scheduled inside this window — selling premium on NDAQ here is a bet on that event rather than on time decay. The score measures scheduled event exposure, not which way the stock will move.

NDAQ shows an IV Rank of 100 — implied volatility is near the top of its own one-year range, so NDAQ options are historically expensive, which favours premium-selling strategies, with a current implied volatility of about 43%. IV Rank answers how NDAQ options are priced against their own history, which is the starting point for choosing between selling and buying premium.

NDAQ is scheduled to report earnings on 2026-10-22, which falls inside a typical monthly options expiry — expect elevated implied volatility into the event and an IV crush afterward.

NASDAQ, INC. (NDAQ) current implied volatility and IV Rank

NDAQ is trading at an IV Rank of 100 with implied volatility around 43%, alongside a TickerRisk options-risk score of 100/100. That is expensive by NDAQ's own standards. Elevated IV Rank rewards defined-risk premium selling, and it is also the market's way of saying it expects movement; the question worth answering is what it expects to move on.

For what this number does and does not tell you about NDAQ's options, see IV Rank explained.

NASDAQ, INC. (NDAQ) next earnings date — 2026-10-22

NASDAQ, INC. (NDAQ) is scheduled to report on 2026-10-22 — about 46 days away, so a standard expiry would carry straight through it. NDAQ's IV Rank is currently 100.
