Is it risky to sell options on PRINCIPAL FINANCIAL GROUP INC (PFG) right now?
PRINCIPAL FINANCIAL GROUP INC (PFG) currently scores 98 out of 100 for options catalyst risk (HIGH) over a 4-week expiry window. The contributing signals are an upcoming earnings report, 5 recent news items, 2 active legal filings and 1 recent SEC event within the 4-week window. A HIGH reading (70+) means PFG 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.
PFG shows an IV Rank of 94 — implied volatility is near the top of its own one-year range, so PFG options are historically expensive, which favours premium-selling strategies, with a current implied volatility of about 43%. Read IV Rank alongside the catalyst score: it says how expensive PFG options are, while the score says whether that price is justified by a scheduled event.
PFG reports on 2026-07-27. Any expiry beyond that date carries the gap, and the implied volatility priced in beforehand typically collapses the morning after.
