Is it risky to sell options on NASDAQ, INC. (NDAQ) right now?
For a 4-week expiry, NASDAQ, INC. (NDAQ) carries an options catalyst-risk score of 100 out of 100 (HIGH). The contributing signals are an upcoming earnings report, 12 recent news items and 7 active legal filings within the 4-week window. On TickerRisk's scale 70 and above is HIGH, so a known event is scheduled inside this window — selling premium on NDAQ here is a bet on that event rather than on time decay. The score measures scheduled event exposure, not which way the stock will move.
NDAQ shows an IV Rank of 38, 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 32%. IV Rank answers how NDAQ options are priced against their own history, which is the starting point for choosing between selling and buying premium.
NDAQ is scheduled to report earnings on 2026-10-22, which falls inside a typical monthly options expiry — expect elevated implied volatility into the event and an IV crush afterward.
NASDAQ, INC. (NDAQ) current implied volatility and IV Rank
NDAQ is trading at an IV Rank of 38 with implied volatility around 32%, alongside a TickerRisk options-risk score of 100/100. Options on NDAQ are inexpensive by its own recent history. Long premium and debit structures get more for their money at this level, while sellers are being paid little to carry the risk.
For what this number does and does not tell you about NDAQ's options, see IV Rank explained.
NASDAQ, INC. (NDAQ) next earnings date — 2026-10-22
NASDAQ, INC. (NDAQ) is scheduled to report on 2026-10-22 — about 1 day away, so a standard expiry would carry straight through it. NDAQ's IV Rank is currently 38. Implied volatility tends to build into the date and drop sharply once results are public. If the premium on NDAQ looks unusually generous right now, this is the most likely reason.
