Is it risky to sell options on WASTE MANAGEMENT INC (WM) right now?
For a 4-week expiry, WASTE MANAGEMENT INC (WM) carries an options catalyst-risk score of 100 out of 100 (HIGH). That score is driven by an upcoming earnings report, 4 recent news items and 10 active legal filings 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 WM 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.
WM shows an IV Rank of 100 — implied volatility is near the top of its own one-year range, so WM options are historically expensive, which favours premium-selling strategies, with a current implied volatility of about 70%. IV Rank answers how WM options are priced against their own history, which is the starting point for choosing between selling and buying premium.
WM is scheduled to report earnings on 2026-07-28, which falls inside a typical monthly options expiry — expect elevated implied volatility into the event and an IV crush afterward.
