ILLUMINA, INC. (ILMN) next earnings date — 2026-10-29
ILLUMINA, INC. (ILMN) reports earnings on 2026-10-29 — about 36 days away, which falls inside a typical options expiry window. ILMN's IV Rank is currently 47. 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.
