Is it risky to sell options on FEDEX CORP (FDX) right now?

Over a 4-week expiry window, FEDEX CORP (FDX) scores 18 out of 100 for options catalyst risk (LOW). What pushes it there: an upcoming earnings report, 1 recent news item and 5 active legal filings, all landing inside the 4-week window. Below 45 is LOW: FDX's calendar looks clear across this window. Unscheduled news can still move any stock, so a low score is the absence of a known event, not the absence of risk.

FDX shows an IV Rank of 14, 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 32%. IV Rank answers how FDX options are priced against their own history, which is the starting point for choosing between selling and buying premium.

The 2026-10-28 earnings report sits inside a standard monthly expiry for FDX, so implied volatility should stay bid into the date and drop sharply once it passes.

FEDEX CORP (FDX) current implied volatility and IV Rank

FDX's IV Rank stands at 14 right now with implied volatility around 32%, alongside a TickerRisk options-risk score of 18/100. That's low — options are cheap relative to the past year, which favours premium-buying strategies such as long calls, long puts and debit spreads when you expect a move.

FEDEX CORP (FDX) next earnings date — 2026-10-28

FEDEX CORP (FDX) reports earnings on 2026-10-28 — about 52 days away, which falls inside a typical options expiry window. FDX's IV Rank is currently 14. 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.
