Is it risky to sell options on GENERAC HOLDINGS INC. (GNRC) right now?
Over a 4-week expiry window, GENERAC HOLDINGS INC. (GNRC) scores 100 out of 100 for options catalyst risk (HIGH). The contributing signals are an upcoming earnings report and 17 recent news items within the 4-week window. A HIGH reading (70+) means GNRC 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.
GNRC shows an IV Rank of 48, putting implied volatility in the middle of its one-year range — options are moderately priced, with a current implied volatility of about 60%. Read IV Rank alongside the catalyst score: it says how expensive GNRC options are, while the score says whether that price is justified by a scheduled event.
The 2026-10-28 earnings report sits inside a standard monthly expiry for GNRC, so implied volatility should stay bid into the date and drop sharply once it passes; the stock has moved up 3.6% recently.
GENERAC HOLDINGS INC. (GNRC) current implied volatility and IV Rank
GENERAC HOLDINGS INC. (GNRC) currently has an IV Rank of 48 with implied volatility around 60%, alongside a TickerRisk options-risk score of 100/100. GNRC's options are priced near the middle of their own yearly range — unremarkable volatility, so the trade has to stand on its own thesis rather than on rich or cheap premium.

GENERAC HOLDINGS INC. (GNRC) next earnings date — 2026-10-28
GENERAC HOLDINGS INC. (GNRC) reports earnings on 2026-10-28 — about 7 days away, which falls inside a typical options expiry window. GNRC's IV Rank is currently 48. 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.
