Is it risky to sell options on ILLINOIS TOOL WORKS INC (ITW) right now?
For a 4-week expiry, ILLINOIS TOOL WORKS INC (ITW) carries an options catalyst-risk score of 99 out of 100 (HIGH). The contributing signals are an upcoming earnings report, 7 recent news items and 6 active legal filings within the 4-week window. A HIGH reading (70+) means ITW has a dated event inside the window, so an option sold here carries gap risk that time decay alone will not pay for. The score ranks event exposure, not the likely direction of the move.
ITW shows an IV Rank of 100 — implied volatility is near the top of its own one-year range, so ITW options are historically expensive, which favours premium-selling strategies, with a current implied volatility of about 46%. IV Rank answers how ITW options are priced against their own history, which is the starting point for choosing between selling and buying premium.
ITW reports on 2026-07-28. Any expiry beyond that date carries the gap, and the implied volatility priced in beforehand typically collapses the morning after.
