Is it risky to sell options on INTERNATIONAL PAPER CO /NEW/ (IP) right now?

Over a 4-week expiry window, INTERNATIONAL PAPER CO /NEW/ (IP) scores 35 out of 100 for options catalyst risk (LOW). What pushes it there: an upcoming earnings report, 3 recent news items and 10 active legal filings, all landing inside the 4-week window. Below 45 is LOW: IP's calendar looks clear across this window. Unscheduled news can still move any stock, so a low score is the absence of a known event, not the absence of risk.

IP shows an IV Rank of 75 — implied volatility is near the top of its own one-year range, so IP options are historically expensive, which favours premium-selling strategies, with a current implied volatility of about 55%. Read IV Rank alongside the catalyst score: it says how expensive IP 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 IP, so implied volatility should stay bid into the date and drop sharply once it passes.

INTERNATIONAL PAPER CO /NEW/ (IP) current implied volatility and IV Rank

That sits near the top of its own 12-month range, so the chain is pricing richly. Sellers are being paid well here — but rich premium and a scheduled event usually arrive together, so check the catalyst list before writing anything.
