Is it risky to sell options on MOODYS CORP /DE/ (MCO) right now?
Over a 4-week expiry window, MOODYS CORP /DE/ (MCO) scores 48 out of 100 for options catalyst risk (MEDIUM). What pushes it there: an upcoming earnings report, 6 recent news items, 10 active legal filings and 1 recent SEC event, all landing 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 MCO will move.
MCO shows an IV Rank of 98 — implied volatility is near the top of its own one-year range, so MCO options are historically expensive, which favours premium-selling strategies, with a current implied volatility of about 54%. IV Rank is the most useful figure for deciding whether to sell or buy premium on MCO.
MCO is scheduled to report earnings on 2026-10-21, which falls inside a typical monthly options expiry — expect elevated implied volatility into the event and an IV crush afterward.
