Is it risky to sell options on EQUIFAX INC (EFX) right now?

EQUIFAX INC (EFX) currently scores 82 out of 100 for options catalyst risk (HIGH) over a 4-week expiry window. The contributing signals are 18 recent news items, 10 active legal filings and 1 recent SEC event within the 4-week window. A HIGH reading (70+) means EFX 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.

EFX shows an IV Rank of 22, near the low end of its one-year range — options are relatively cheap, which favours option buyers over sellers, with a current implied volatility of about 45%. Read IV Rank alongside the catalyst score: it says how expensive EFX options are, while the score says whether that price is justified by a scheduled event.

EFX does not report again until 2026-10-20, so near-dated expiries avoid it.
