Is it risky to sell options on Palantir Technologies Inc. (PLTR) right now?

Palantir Technologies Inc. (PLTR) currently scores 82 out of 100 for options catalyst risk (HIGH) over a 4-week expiry window. The contributing signals are an upcoming earnings report, 13 recent news items, 1 active legal filing and 1 recent SEC event 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 PLTR 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.

PLTR shows an IV Rank of 40, 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 57%. IV Rank answers how PLTR options are priced against their own history, which is the starting point for choosing between selling and buying premium.

The 2026-11-02 earnings report sits inside a standard monthly expiry for PLTR, so implied volatility should stay bid into the date and drop sharply once it passes; the stock has moved up 4.2% recently.

Palantir Technologies Inc. (PLTR) current implied volatility and IV Rank

As of the latest scan, Palantir Technologies Inc. (PLTR) shows an IV Rank of 40 with implied volatility around 57%, alongside a TickerRisk options-risk score of 82/100. That is roughly mid-range for this stock, meaning implied volatility offers neither a clear selling edge nor a bargain. Directional conviction matters more than vol here.

Palantir Technologies Inc. (PLTR) next earnings date — 2026-11-02

Palantir Technologies Inc. (PLTR) reports earnings on 2026-11-02 — about 12 days away, which falls inside a typical options expiry window. PLTR's IV Rank is currently 40. Earnings are the single biggest scheduled catalyst for an overnight gap: implied volatility usually runs up into the report and collapses immediately after (the IV crush). Selling premium into the event captures that crush but exposes you to the gap; buying premium needs a move large enough to beat the elevated IV you paid.
