Is it risky to sell options on HUMANA INC (HUM) right now?

HUMANA INC (HUM) currently scores 81 out of 100 for options catalyst risk (HIGH) over a 4-week expiry window. That score is driven by an upcoming earnings report, 1 recent news item, 10 active legal filings, 1 recent SEC event and 32 clinical-trial catalysts falling 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 HUM 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.

HUM shows an IV Rank of 37, 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 58%. IV Rank answers how HUM options are priced against their own history, which is the starting point for choosing between selling and buying premium.

The 2026-11-06 earnings report sits inside a standard monthly expiry for HUM, so implied volatility should stay bid into the date and drop sharply once it passes.

HUMANA INC (HUM) current implied volatility and IV Rank

HUMANA INC (HUM) currently has an IV Rank of 37 with implied volatility around 58%, alongside a TickerRisk options-risk score of 81/100. That is toward the bottom of its 12-month range, so premium is thin. Selling here pays poorly for the risk taken; if you expect a move, buying the move is the cheaper side.

IV Rank is an index, not a percentage — it says where HUM's implied volatility sits inside its own 1-year range. How to read IV Rank →

HUMANA INC (HUM) next earnings date — 2026-11-06

HUMANA INC (HUM) is scheduled to report on 2026-11-06 — about 60 days away, so a standard expiry would carry straight through it. HUM's IV Rank is currently 37.
