Is it risky to sell options on UNIVERSAL HEALTH SERVICES INC (UHS) right now?
For a 4-week expiry, UNIVERSAL HEALTH SERVICES INC (UHS) carries an options catalyst-risk score of 100 out of 100 (HIGH). What pushes it there: an upcoming earnings report, 5 recent news items, 5 active legal filings, 1 recent SEC event and 53 clinical-trial catalysts, all landing inside 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 UHS 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.
UHS shows an IV Rank of 77 — implied volatility is near the top of its own one-year range, so UHS options are historically expensive, which favours premium-selling strategies, with a current implied volatility of about 47%. IV Rank answers how UHS options are priced against their own history, which is the starting point for choosing between selling and buying premium.
UHS reports on 2026-07-27. Any expiry beyond that date carries the gap, and the implied volatility priced in beforehand typically collapses the morning after.
