XYL shows an IV Rank of 57, putting implied volatility in the middle of its one-year range — options are moderately priced, with a current implied volatility of about 32%. Read IV Rank alongside the catalyst score: it says how expensive XYL options are, while the score says whether that price is justified by a scheduled event.

XYL reports on 2026-11-03. Any expiry beyond that date carries the gap, and the implied volatility priced in beforehand typically collapses the morning after.
