Is it risky to sell options on BANK OF AMERICA CORP /DE/ (BAC) right now?

BANK OF AMERICA CORP /DE/ (BAC) currently scores 100 out of 100 for options catalyst risk (HIGH) over a 4-week expiry window. That score is driven by an upcoming earnings report, 9 recent news items, 10 active legal filings and 12 recent SEC events falling inside the 4-week window. A HIGH reading (70+) means BAC has a dated event inside the window, so an option sold here carries gap risk that time decay alone will not pay for. The score ranks event exposure, not the likely direction of the move.

BAC shows an IV Rank of 69, putting implied volatility in the middle of its one-year range — options are moderately priced, with a current implied volatility of about 29%. IV Rank is the most useful figure for deciding whether to sell or buy premium on BAC.

BAC reports on 2027-01-15. Any expiry beyond that date carries the gap, and the implied volatility priced in beforehand typically collapses the morning after.

BANK OF AMERICA CORP /DE/ (BAC) current implied volatility and IV Rank

BANK OF AMERICA CORP /DE/ (BAC) next earnings date — 2027-01-15

The next BAC report lands on 2027-01-15 — about 85 days away — inside the window a typical monthly option would span. BAC's IV Rank is currently 69. That matters more than any other single date on the calendar: the stock can gap overnight on the print, and any premium you collect now is partly payment for carrying that gap. Sellers who want the volatility crush without the gap generally choose an expiry that ends before the report.
