How WMT earnings affect options
Walmart Inc. (WMT) reports earnings on 2026-08-20, which falls inside a typical options expiry window. 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.
