Is it risky to sell options on MICRON TECHNOLOGY INC (MU) right now?

Over a 4-week expiry window, MICRON TECHNOLOGY INC (MU) scores 99 out of 100 for options catalyst risk (HIGH). The contributing signals are an upcoming earnings report, 10 recent news items and 10 active legal filings within the 4-week window. A HIGH reading (70+) means MU 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.

MU shows an IV Rank of 14, 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 67%. Read IV Rank alongside the catalyst score: it says how expensive MU options are, while the score says whether that price is justified by a scheduled event.

MU reports on 2026-09-30. 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 6.6% recently.

MICRON TECHNOLOGY INC (MU) current implied volatility and IV Rank

MU's IV Rank stands at 14 right now with implied volatility around 67%, alongside a TickerRisk options-risk score of 99/100. That's low — options are cheap relative to the past year, which favours premium-buying strategies such as long calls, long puts and debit spreads when you expect a move.

IV Rank is an index, not a percentage — it says where MU's implied volatility sits inside its own 1-year range. How to read IV Rank →

MICRON TECHNOLOGY INC (MU) next earnings date — 2026-09-30

The next MU report lands on 2026-09-30 — about 24 days away — inside the window a typical monthly option would span. MU's IV Rank is currently 14. 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.
