Is it risky to sell options on PAYCHEX INC (PAYX) right now?
PAYCHEX INC (PAYX) currently scores 72 out of 100 for options catalyst risk (HIGH) over a 4-week expiry window. That score is driven by an upcoming earnings report, 8 recent news items, 1 active legal filing and 4 recent SEC events falling inside the 4-week window. A HIGH reading (70+) means PAYX 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.
PAYX shows an IV Rank of 65, putting implied volatility in the middle of its one-year range — options are moderately priced, with a current implied volatility of about 37%. IV Rank answers how PAYX options are priced against their own history, which is the starting point for choosing between selling and buying premium.
The 2026-09-29 earnings report sits inside a standard monthly expiry for PAYX, so implied volatility should stay bid into the date and drop sharply once it passes.
