Is it risky to sell options on FASTENAL CO (FAST) right now?
FASTENAL CO (FAST) currently scores 91 out of 100 for options catalyst risk (HIGH) over a 4-week expiry window. The contributing signals are 2 recent news items and 10 active legal filings within the 4-week window. A HIGH reading (70+) means FAST 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.
FAST shows an IV Rank of 100 — 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 96%. IV Rank answers how FAST options are priced against their own history, which is the starting point for choosing between selling and buying premium.
FAST's next earnings date is 2026-10-14, outside the near-term options window.
