Is it risky to sell options on Howmet Aerospace Inc. (HWM) right now?
For a 4-week expiry, Howmet Aerospace Inc. (HWM) carries an options catalyst-risk score of 91 out of 100 (HIGH). What pushes it there: an upcoming earnings report, 7 recent news items, 4 active legal filings and 1 recent SEC event, all landing inside the 4-week window. Anything at 70 or above counts as HIGH, meaning the premium on HWM is at least partly compensation for a scheduled event rather than pure time value. It says nothing about direction — only that something is on the calendar.
HWM 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 43%. Read IV Rank alongside the catalyst score: it says how expensive HWM options are, while the score says whether that price is justified by a scheduled event.
HWM is scheduled to report earnings on 2026-10-29, which falls inside a typical monthly options expiry — expect elevated implied volatility into the event and an IV crush afterward.
Howmet Aerospace Inc. (HWM) current implied volatility and IV Rank
HWM's IV Rank stands at 48 right now with implied volatility around 43%, alongside a TickerRisk options-risk score of 91/100. That's moderate — options are fairly priced versus the past year, so there's no strong volatility edge in either direction right now; trade the direction, not the vol.
IV Rank is an index, not a percentage — it says where HWM's implied volatility sits inside its own 1-year range. How to read IV Rank →
Howmet Aerospace Inc. (HWM) next earnings date — 2026-10-29
Howmet Aerospace Inc. (HWM) is scheduled to report on 2026-10-29 — about 20 days away, so a standard expiry would carry straight through it. HWM's IV Rank is currently 48. Implied volatility tends to build into the date and drop sharply once results are public. If the premium on HWM looks unusually generous right now, this is the most likely reason.
