Options Earnings Calendar — Implied Moves & IV for Every Reporting Stock
Plan IV crush plays around upcoming earnings announcements with BMO/AMC timing and per-stock IV analysis.
This options earnings calendar shows every US stock reporting in the selected week, grouped by date and split into BMO versus AMC reporting times. Each stock links to its full earnings analysis: historical earnings moves, current implied volatility, the option market's expected move, and the IV crush profile after the report. Use it to find iron condor and straddle setups before earnings, then close the trade after IV collapses.
Earnings volatility is one of the most reliable patterns in options. The market typically prices a 5–10% one-day move into the at-the-money straddle on names like NVDA, TSLA, MSFT, and GOOGL the week of earnings — and that implied move usually overstates the realised one. The result is the well-known IV crush: a 30–50% drop in option premium overnight, regardless of the move's direction. The cards below let you jump straight to the per-stock data needed to size that play.
Earnings Options Trading FAQ Earnings FAQCommon questions about trading options around earnings events, IV crush, and strategy selection.
What is IV crush and how does it affect earnings plays?
IV crush occurs when implied volatility drops sharply after an earnings announcement. Options prices inflate before earnings due to uncertainty, then collapse 30-50% after the news is out. This is why selling options before earnings (iron condors, strangles) can be profitable even if the stock moves.
What are the best options strategies for earnings?
Popular earnings strategies include: Iron Condors (neutral, profit from IV crush), Straddles/Strangles (profit from big moves), and Calendar Spreads (exploit IV term structure). Click any stock above to see its historical earnings moves and determine if options are overpriced.
What does BMO and AMC mean?
BMO (Before Market Open) means earnings are released before 9:30am ET. AMC (After Market Close) means after 4pm ET. This affects which expiration to trade - AMC earnings need next-day expirations to capture the overnight move.
