Is it risky to sell options on Gen Digital Inc. (GEN) right now?
For a 4-week expiry, Gen Digital Inc. (GEN) carries an options catalyst-risk score of 87 out of 100 (HIGH). What pushes it there: an upcoming earnings report, 2 recent news items and 10 active legal filings, all landing inside the 4-week window. A HIGH reading (70+) means GEN 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.
GEN shows an IV Rank of 28, 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%. Read IV Rank alongside the catalyst score: it says how expensive GEN options are, while the score says whether that price is justified by a scheduled event.
The 2026-08-06 earnings report sits inside a standard monthly expiry for GEN, so implied volatility should stay bid into the date and drop sharply once it passes.
