Is it risky to sell options on SOUTHERN CO (SO) right now?
SOUTHERN CO (SO) currently scores 60 out of 100 for options catalyst risk (MEDIUM) over a 4-week expiry window. What pushes it there: an upcoming earnings report and 10 active legal filings, all landing inside the 4-week window. A mid-range score (45–69) means SO is neither clear nor obviously dangerous over this window — check which specific date is driving it before choosing a strike. The number reflects event exposure only.
SO shows an IV Rank of 90 — implied volatility is near the top of its own one-year range, so SO options are historically expensive, which favours premium-selling strategies, with a current implied volatility of about 26%. IV Rank is the most useful figure for deciding whether to sell or buy premium on SO.
SO reports on 2026-07-30. Any expiry beyond that date carries the gap, and the implied volatility priced in beforehand typically collapses the morning after.
