Is it risky to sell options on ROSS STORES, INC. (ROST) right now?

ROSS STORES, INC. (ROST) currently scores 15 out of 100 for options catalyst risk (LOW) over a 4-week expiry window. That score is driven by an upcoming earnings report, 6 recent news items and 3 active legal filings falling inside the 4-week window. A LOW score (under 45) means the scan found no dated catalyst for ROST inside the window. Read it as a clean calendar rather than a safe stock — surprises are by definition unscheduled.

ROST shows an IV Rank of 42, 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 33%. Read IV Rank alongside the catalyst score: it says how expensive ROST options are, while the score says whether that price is justified by a scheduled event.

The 2026-11-19 earnings report sits inside a standard monthly expiry for ROST, so implied volatility should stay bid into the date and drop sharply once it passes.

ROSS STORES, INC. (ROST) current implied volatility and IV Rank

As of the latest scan, ROSS STORES, INC. (ROST) shows an IV Rank of 42 with implied volatility around 33%, alongside a TickerRisk options-risk score of 15/100. That's moderate — options are fairly priced versus the past year, so there's no strong volatility edge in either direction right now; trade the direction, not the vol.

For what this number does and does not tell you about ROST's options, see IV Rank explained.

ROSS STORES, INC. (ROST) next earnings date — 2026-11-19

The next ROST report lands on 2026-11-19 — about 74 days away — inside the window a typical monthly option would span. ROST's IV Rank is currently 42. That matters more than any other single date on the calendar: the stock can gap overnight on the print, and any premium you collect now is partly payment for carrying that gap. Sellers who want the volatility crush without the gap generally choose an expiry that ends before the report.
