Is it risky to sell options on NETFLIX INC (NFLX) right now?

Over a 4-week expiry window, NETFLIX INC (NFLX) scores 100 out of 100 for options catalyst risk (HIGH). What pushes it there: an upcoming earnings report, 18 recent news items, 10 active legal filings and 1 recent SEC event, all landing inside 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 NFLX 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.

NFLX shows an IV Rank of 35, 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 35%. Read IV Rank alongside the catalyst score: it says how expensive NFLX options are, while the score says whether that price is justified by a scheduled event.

NFLX is scheduled to report earnings on 2027-01-19, which falls inside a typical monthly options expiry — expect elevated implied volatility into the event and an IV crush afterward.
