Is it risky to sell options on BANK OF AMERICA CORP /DE/ (BAC) right now?
BANK OF AMERICA CORP /DE/ (BAC) currently scores 44 out of 100 for options catalyst risk (LOW) over a 4-week expiry window. That score is driven by 10 active legal filings and 12 recent SEC events falling inside the 4-week window. A LOW score (under 45) means the scan found no dated catalyst for BAC inside the window.

BAC does not report again until 2026-10-14, so near-dated expiries avoid it.
