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 74 out of 100 for options catalyst risk (HIGH). What pushes it there: an upcoming earnings report and 10 active legal filings, all landing inside the 4-week window. Anything at 70 or above counts as HIGH, meaning the premium on IP 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.
IP shows an IV Rank of 56, putting implied volatility in the middle of its one-year range — options are moderately priced, with a current implied volatility of about 47%. 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
As of the latest scan, INTERNATIONAL PAPER CO /NEW/ (IP) shows an IV Rank of 56 with implied volatility around 47%, alongside a TickerRisk options-risk score of 74/100. That is roughly mid-range for this stock, meaning implied volatility offers neither a clear selling edge nor a bargain. Directional conviction matters more than vol here.
For what this number does and does not tell you about IP's options, see IV Rank explained.
INTERNATIONAL PAPER CO /NEW/ (IP) next earnings date — 2026-10-28
INTERNATIONAL PAPER CO /NEW/ (IP) is scheduled to report on 2026-10-28 — about 7 days away, so a standard expiry would carry straight through it. IP's IV Rank is currently 56. Implied volatility tends to build into the date and drop sharply once results are public. If the premium on IP looks unusually generous right now, this is the most likely reason.
