Is it risky to sell options on JOHNSON & JOHNSON (JNJ) right now?

JOHNSON & JOHNSON (JNJ) currently scores 31 out of 100 for options catalyst risk (LOW) over a 4-week expiry window. What pushes it there: an upcoming earnings report, 5 recent news items, 4 active legal filings, 1 recent SEC event and 37 clinical-trial catalysts, all landing inside the 4-week window. Below 45 is LOW: JNJ'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.

JNJ shows an IV Rank of 88 — implied volatility is near the top of its own one-year range, so JNJ options are historically expensive, which favours premium-selling strategies, with a current implied volatility of about 30%. Read IV Rank alongside the catalyst score: it says how expensive JNJ options are, while the score says whether that price is justified by a scheduled event.

The 2026-10-13 earnings report sits inside a standard monthly expiry for JNJ, so implied volatility should stay bid into the date and drop sharply once it passes.
