Is it risky to sell options on Seagate Technology Holdings plc (STX) right now?

Seagate Technology Holdings plc (STX) currently scores 100 out of 100 for options catalyst risk (HIGH) over a 4-week expiry window. The contributing signals are an upcoming earnings report, 7 recent news items, 5 active legal filings and 7 recent SEC events within the 4-week window. A HIGH reading (70+) means STX 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.

STX shows an IV Rank of 22, 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 73%. IV Rank is the most useful figure for deciding whether to sell or buy premium on STX.

The 2026-10-27 earnings report sits inside a standard monthly expiry for STX, so implied volatility should stay bid into the date and drop sharply once it passes; the stock has moved down 6.6% recently.

Seagate Technology Holdings plc (STX) currently has an IV Rank of 22 with implied volatility around 73%, alongside a TickerRisk options-risk score of 100/100.

Seagate Technology Holdings plc (STX) next earnings date — 2026-10-27
