Is it risky to sell options on AMERICAN ELECTRIC POWER CO INC (AEP) right now?
For a 4-week expiry, AMERICAN ELECTRIC POWER CO INC (AEP) carries an options catalyst-risk score of 70 out of 100 (HIGH). The contributing signals are an upcoming earnings report, 5 recent news items, 10 active legal filings and 1 recent SEC event 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 AEP 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.
AEP shows an IV Rank of 66, putting implied volatility in the middle of its one-year range — options are moderately priced, with a current implied volatility of about 25%. IV Rank is the most useful figure for deciding whether to sell or buy premium on AEP.
The 2026-07-30 earnings report sits inside a standard monthly expiry for AEP, so implied volatility should stay bid into the date and drop sharply once it passes.
