Is it risky to sell options on AT&T INC. (T) right now?

Over a 4-week expiry window, AT&T INC. (T) scores 78 out of 100 for options catalyst risk (HIGH). What pushes it there: an upcoming earnings report, 10 active legal filings and 4 recent SEC events, all landing inside the 4-week window. A HIGH reading (70+) means T 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.

T shows an IV Rank of 100 — implied volatility is near the top of its own one-year range, so T options are historically expensive, which favours premium-selling strategies, with a current implied volatility of about 83%. IV Rank is the most useful figure for deciding whether to sell or buy premium on T.

T is scheduled to report earnings on 2026-10-21, which falls inside a typical monthly options expiry — expect elevated implied volatility into the event and an IV crush afterward.

AT&T INC. (T) current implied volatility and IV Rank

T's IV Rank stands at 100 right now with implied volatility around 83%, alongside a TickerRisk options-risk score of 78/100. That's high — options are expensive relative to the past year, which favours premium-selling strategies such as credit spreads, iron condors and covered calls, provided no binary catalyst is working against you.

AT&T INC. (T) next earnings date — 2026-10-21

AT&T INC. (T) is scheduled to report on 2026-10-21 — about 45 days away, so a standard expiry would carry straight through it. T's IV Rank is currently 100. Implied volatility tends to build into the date and drop sharply once results are public. If the premium on T looks unusually generous right now, this is the most likely reason.
