Is it risky to sell options on QUALCOMM INC/DE (QCOM) right now?
For a 4-week expiry, QUALCOMM INC/DE (QCOM) carries an options catalyst-risk score of 100 out of 100 (HIGH). That score is driven by an upcoming earnings report, 8 recent news items and 1 active legal filing falling inside the 4-week window. Anything at 70 or above counts as HIGH, meaning the premium on QCOM is at least partly compensation for a scheduled event rather than pure time value. It says nothing about direction — only that something is on the calendar.
QCOM shows an IV Rank of 63, putting implied volatility in the middle of its one-year range — options are moderately priced, with a current implied volatility of about 68%. Read IV Rank alongside the catalyst score: it says how expensive QCOM options are, while the score says whether that price is justified by a scheduled event.
QCOM is scheduled to report earnings on 2026-07-29, which falls inside a typical monthly options expiry — expect elevated implied volatility into the event and an IV crush afterward.
