Is it risky to sell options on WELLTOWER INC. (WELL) right now?

Over a 4-week expiry window, WELLTOWER INC. (WELL) scores 24 out of 100 for options catalyst risk (LOW). That score is driven by an upcoming earnings report and 3 recent news items falling inside the 4-week window. Below 45 is LOW: WELL's calendar looks clear across this window. Unscheduled news can still move any stock, so a low score is the absence of a known event, not the absence of risk.

WELL reports on 2026-10-26. Any expiry beyond that date carries the gap, and the implied volatility priced in beforehand typically collapses the morning after.

WELLTOWER INC. (WELL) next earnings date — 2026-10-26

WELLTOWER INC. (WELL) reports earnings on 2026-10-26 — about 50 days away, which falls inside a typical options expiry window. WELL's IV Rank is currently 34. Earnings are the single biggest scheduled catalyst for an overnight gap: implied volatility usually runs up into the report and collapses immediately after (the IV crush). Selling premium into the event captures that crush but exposes you to the gap; buying premium needs a move large enough to beat the elevated IV you paid.
