Is it risky to sell options on MGM Resorts International (MGM) right now?

For a 4-week expiry, MGM Resorts International (MGM) carries an options catalyst-risk score of 73 out of 100 (HIGH). That score is driven by an upcoming earnings report, 8 recent news items and 10 active legal filings falling inside the 4-week window. Anything at 70 or above counts as HIGH, meaning the premium on MGM is at least partly compensation for a scheduled event rather than pure time value. It says nothing about direction — only that something is on the calendar.

MGM shows an IV Rank of 37, 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 43%. Read IV Rank alongside the catalyst score: it says how expensive MGM options are, while the score says whether that price is justified by a scheduled event.

MGM is scheduled to report earnings on 2026-10-28, which falls inside a typical monthly options expiry — expect elevated implied volatility into the event and an IV crush afterward.

MGM Resorts International (MGM) next earnings date — 2026-10-28

The next MGM report lands on 2026-10-28 — about 6 days away — inside the window a typical monthly option would span. MGM's IV Rank is currently 37. 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.
