Is it risky to sell options on FASTENAL CO (FAST) right now?
FASTENAL CO (FAST) currently scores 65 out of 100 for options catalyst risk (MEDIUM) over a 4-week expiry window. The contributing signals are an upcoming earnings report, 2 recent news items and 10 active legal filings within the 4-week window. A mid-range score (45–69) means FAST is neither clear nor obviously dangerous over this window — check which specific date is driving it before choosing a strike. The number reflects event exposure only.
FAST shows an IV Rank of 90 — implied volatility is near the top of its own one-year range, so FAST options are historically expensive, which favours premium-selling strategies, with a current implied volatility of about 38%. IV Rank answers how FAST options are priced against their own history, which is the starting point for choosing between selling and buying premium.
The 2026-10-14 earnings report sits inside a standard monthly expiry for FAST, so implied volatility should stay bid into the date and drop sharply once it passes.
