Is it risky to sell options on VERIZON COMMUNICATIONS INC (VZ) right now?
VERIZON COMMUNICATIONS INC (VZ) currently scores 100 out of 100 for options catalyst risk (HIGH) over a 4-week expiry window. That score is driven by an upcoming earnings report, 7 recent news items and 10 active legal filings falling 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 VZ 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.
VZ shows an IV Rank of 57, putting implied volatility in the middle of its one-year range — options are moderately priced, with a current implied volatility of about 32%. IV Rank is the most useful figure for deciding whether to sell or buy premium on VZ.
VZ is scheduled to report earnings on 2026-07-24, which falls inside a typical monthly options expiry — expect elevated implied volatility into the event and an IV crush afterward.
