Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL) next earnings date — 2026-10-28
Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL) reports earnings on 2026-10-28 — about 52 days away, which falls inside a typical options expiry window. GOOGL's IV Rank is currently 28. 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.
