TGT shows an IV Rank of 60, putting implied volatility in the middle of its one-year range — options are moderately priced, with a current implied volatility of about 36%. IV Rank answers how TGT options are priced against their own history, which is the starting point for choosing between selling and buying premium.

TGT is scheduled to report earnings on 2026-11-18, which falls inside a typical monthly options expiry — expect elevated implied volatility into the event and an IV crush afterward.

TARGET CORP (TGT) next earnings date — 2026-11-18

TARGET CORP (TGT) reports earnings on 2026-11-18 — about 73 days away, which falls inside a typical options expiry window. TGT's IV Rank is currently 60. 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.
