Is it risky to sell options on NORTHROP GRUMMAN CORP /DE/ (NOC) right now?
Over a 4-week expiry window, NORTHROP GRUMMAN CORP /DE/ (NOC) scores 71 out of 100 for options catalyst risk (HIGH). That score is driven by an upcoming earnings report, 9 recent news items, 10 active legal filings and 1 recent SEC event falling inside 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 NOC 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.
NOC shows an IV Rank of 76 — implied volatility is near the top of its own one-year range, so NOC options are historically expensive, which favours premium-selling strategies, with a current implied volatility of about 34%. IV Rank is the most useful figure for deciding whether to sell or buy premium on NOC.
NOC is scheduled to report earnings on 2026-10-20, which falls inside a typical monthly options expiry — expect elevated implied volatility into the event and an IV crush afterward.
