Is it risky to sell options on LAM RESEARCH CORP (LRCX) right now?
Over a 4-week expiry window, LAM RESEARCH CORP (LRCX) scores 100 out of 100 for options catalyst risk (HIGH). What pushes it there: 21 recent news items and 1 recent SEC event, all landing inside the 4-week window. A HIGH reading (70+) means LRCX 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.
LRCX shows an IV Rank of 13, 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 58%. IV Rank is the most useful figure for deciding whether to sell or buy premium on LRCX.
LRCX's next earnings date is 2026-10-21, outside the near-term options window; the stock has moved down 4.8% recently.
