Is it risky to sell options on ZEBRA TECHNOLOGIES CORP (ZBRA) right now?

Over a 4-week expiry window, ZEBRA TECHNOLOGIES CORP (ZBRA) scores 42 out of 100 for options catalyst risk (LOW). What pushes it there: an upcoming earnings report and 14 recent news items, all landing inside the 4-week window. Below 45 is LOW: ZBRA'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.

ZBRA shows an IV Rank of 49, putting implied volatility in the middle of its one-year range — options are moderately priced, with a current implied volatility of about 45%. Read IV Rank alongside the catalyst score: it says how expensive ZBRA options are, while the score says whether that price is justified by a scheduled event.

The 2026-11-03 earnings report sits inside a standard monthly expiry for ZBRA, so implied volatility should stay bid into the date and drop sharply once it passes.

ZEBRA TECHNOLOGIES CORP (ZBRA) current implied volatility and IV Rank

ZBRA's IV Rank stands at 49 right now with implied volatility around 45%, alongside a TickerRisk options-risk score of 42/100. ZBRA's options are priced near the middle of their own yearly range — unremarkable volatility, so the trade has to stand on its own thesis rather than on rich or cheap premium.

IV Rank is an index, not a percentage — it says where ZBRA's implied volatility sits inside its own 1-year range. How to read IV Rank →

ZEBRA TECHNOLOGIES CORP (ZBRA) next earnings date — 2026-11-03

The next ZBRA report lands on 2026-11-03 — about 58 days away — inside the window a typical monthly option would span. ZBRA's IV Rank is currently 49. That matters more than any other single date on the calendar: the stock can gap overnight on the print, and any premium you collect now is partly payment for carrying that gap. Sellers who want the volatility crush without the gap generally choose an expiry that ends before the report.
