Is it risky to sell options on Leidos Holdings, Inc. (LDOS) right now?
Over a 4-week expiry window, Leidos Holdings, Inc. (LDOS) scores 61 out of 100 for options catalyst risk (MEDIUM). That score is driven by an upcoming earnings report, 7 recent news items and 1 active legal filing falling inside the 4-week window. On TickerRisk's scale 45 to 69 is MEDIUM, meaning something in the 4-week window is worth checking before committing to an expiry. The score measures scheduled event exposure, not the direction LDOS will move.
LDOS shows an IV Rank of 32, 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 40%. 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; the stock has moved up 4.3% recently.
Leidos Holdings, Inc. (LDOS) current implied volatility and IV Rank
The most recent read on Leidos Holdings, Inc. (LDOS) puts its IV Rank at 32 with implied volatility around 40%, alongside a TickerRisk options-risk score of 61/100. 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.
For what this number does and does not tell you about LDOS's options, see IV Rank explained.
Leidos Holdings, Inc. (LDOS) next earnings date — 2026-11-03
Leidos Holdings, Inc. (LDOS) is scheduled to report on 2026-11-03 — about 12 days away, so a standard expiry would carry straight through it. LDOS's IV Rank is currently 32. Implied volatility tends to build into the date and drop sharply once results are public. If the premium on LDOS looks unusually generous right now, this is the most likely reason.
