What pushes it there: an upcoming earnings report, 11 recent news items and 10 active legal filings, all landing inside the 4-week window. On TickerRisk's scale 70 and above is HIGH, so a known event is scheduled inside this window — selling premium on FDS here is a bet on that event rather than on time decay. The score measures scheduled event exposure, not which way the stock will move.

FDS shows an IV Rank of 16, 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 52%. IV Rank is the most useful figure for deciding whether to sell or buy premium on FDS.

FDS is scheduled to report earnings on 2026-09-30, which falls inside a typical monthly options expiry — expect elevated implied volatility into the event and an IV crush afterward.

FACTSET RESEARCH SYSTEMS INC (FDS) next earnings date — 2026-09-30

FACTSET RESEARCH SYSTEMS INC (FDS) reports earnings on 2026-09-30 — about 24 days away, which falls inside a typical options expiry window. FDS's IV Rank is currently 16. Earnings are the single biggest scheduled catalyst for an overnight gap: implied volatility usually runs up into the report and collapses immediately after (the IV crush). Selling premium into the event captures that crush but exposes you to the gap; buying premium needs a move large enough to beat the elevated IV you paid.
