Is it risky to sell options on Apple Inc. (AAPL) right now?
Apple Inc. (AAPL) currently scores 100 out of 100 for options catalyst risk (HIGH) over a 4-week expiry window. The contributing signals are 6 recent news items, 10 active legal filings and 2 recent SEC events within 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 AAPL 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.
AAPL shows an IV Rank of 63, putting implied volatility in the middle of its one-year range — options are moderately priced, with a current implied volatility of about 27%. IV Rank is the most useful figure for deciding whether to sell or buy premium on AAPL.
