Is it risky to sell options on Leidos Holdings, Inc. (LDOS) right now?

Over a 4-week expiry window, Leidos Holdings, Inc. (LDOS) scores 22 out of 100 for options catalyst risk (LOW). That score is driven by an upcoming earnings report and 4 recent news items falling inside the 4-week window. On TickerRisk's scale anything below 45 is LOW, meaning no major scheduled catalyst was found in this window. That is not a guarantee against an unscheduled move — it means the calendar is clear, not that LDOS cannot fall.

LDOS shows an IV Rank of 34, near the low end of its one-year range — options are relatively cheap, which favours option buyers over sellers, with a current implied volatility of about 37%. IV Rank is the most useful figure for deciding whether to sell or buy premium on LDOS.

LDOS reports on 2026-11-03. Any expiry beyond that date carries the gap, and the implied volatility priced in beforehand typically collapses the morning after.

Leidos Holdings, Inc. (LDOS) current implied volatility and IV Rank

The most recent read on Leidos Holdings, Inc. (LDOS) puts its IV Rank at 34 with implied volatility around 37%, alongside a TickerRisk options-risk score of 22/100. That is toward the bottom of its 12-month range, so premium is thin. Selling here pays poorly for the risk taken; if you expect a move, buying the move is the cheaper side.
