Is it risky to sell options on Mondelez International, Inc. (MDLZ) right now?

Over a 4-week expiry window, Mondelez International, Inc. (MDLZ) scores 59 out of 100 for options catalyst risk (MEDIUM). That score is driven by an upcoming earnings report, 8 recent news items, 2 active legal filings and 1 recent SEC event 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 MDLZ will move.

MDLZ shows an IV Rank of 100 — implied volatility is near the top of its own one-year range, so MDLZ options are historically expensive, which favours premium-selling strategies, with a current implied volatility of about 55%. IV Rank answers how MDLZ options are priced against their own history, which is the starting point for choosing between selling and buying premium.

MDLZ reports on 2026-10-27. Any expiry beyond that date carries the gap, and the implied volatility priced in beforehand typically collapses the morning after.

Mondelez International, Inc. (MDLZ) current implied volatility and IV Rank

MDLZ's IV Rank stands at 100 right now with implied volatility around 55%, alongside a TickerRisk options-risk score of 59/100. That is expensive by MDLZ's own standards. Elevated IV Rank rewards defined-risk premium selling, and it is also the market's way of saying it expects movement; the question worth answering is what it expects to move on.

For what this number does and does not tell you about MDLZ's options, see IV Rank explained.

Mondelez International, Inc. (MDLZ) next earnings date — 2026-10-27

The next MDLZ report lands on 2026-10-27 — about 51 days away — inside the window a typical monthly option would span. MDLZ's IV Rank is currently 100. That matters more than any other single date on the calendar: the stock can gap overnight on the print, and any premium you collect now is partly payment for carrying that gap. Sellers who want the volatility crush without the gap generally choose an expiry that ends before the report.
