That score is driven by 1 recent news item and 10 active legal filings falling inside the 4-week window. Below 45 is LOW: AOS's calendar looks clear across this window. Unscheduled news can still move any stock, so a low score is the absence of a known event, not the absence of risk.

IV Rank answers how AOS options are priced against their own history, which is the starting point for choosing between selling and buying premium.
AOS's next earnings date is 2026-10-29, outside the near-term options window.
