Is it risky to sell options on PFIZER INC (PFE) right now?
Over a 4-week expiry window, PFIZER INC (PFE) scores 80 out of 100 for options catalyst risk (HIGH). That score is driven by an upcoming earnings report, 5 recent news items, 10 active legal filings and 16 clinical-trial catalysts 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 PFE 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.
PFE shows an IV Rank of 8, 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 20%. Read IV Rank alongside the catalyst score: it says how expensive PFE options are, while the score says whether that price is justified by a scheduled event.
PFE reports on 2026-08-04. Any expiry beyond that date carries the gap, and the implied volatility priced in beforehand typically collapses the morning after.
