Is it risky to sell options on OCCIDENTAL PETROLEUM CORP /DE/ (OXY) right now?
Over a 4-week expiry window, OCCIDENTAL PETROLEUM CORP /DE/ (OXY) scores 78 out of 100 for options catalyst risk (HIGH). The contributing signals are an upcoming earnings report, 8 recent news items and 10 active legal filings within the 4-week window. A HIGH reading (70+) means OXY 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.
OXY shows an IV Rank of 42, 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 37%. IV Rank is the most useful figure for deciding whether to sell or buy premium on OXY.
The 2026-11-09 earnings report sits inside a standard monthly expiry for OXY, so implied volatility should stay bid into the date and drop sharply once it passes.

As of the latest scan, OCCIDENTAL PETROLEUM CORP /DE/ (OXY) shows an IV Rank of 42 with implied volatility around 37%, alongside a TickerRisk options-risk score of 78/100.

OCCIDENTAL PETROLEUM CORP /DE/ (OXY) next earnings date — 2026-11-09
OCCIDENTAL PETROLEUM CORP /DE/ (OXY) reports earnings on 2026-11-09 — about 19 days away, which falls inside a typical options expiry window. OXY's IV Rank is currently 42. Earnings are the single biggest scheduled catalyst for an overnight gap: implied volatility usually runs up into the report and collapses immediately after (the IV crush). Selling premium into the event captures that crush but exposes you to the gap; buying premium needs a move large enough to beat the elevated IV you paid.
