Analysis & Commentary
EXXON MOBIL CORP (XOM) reports earnings Friday . Consensus EPS estimate is $1.58.
IV Rank is elevated at 75, indicating options premiums are pricing in a larger-than-usual move. This creates an edge for premium sellers — the IV crush after the event can be significant.
A short strangle with strikes beyond the ±4.8% expected move could capture the IV crush. This is a higher-risk play — consider defined-risk alternatives or strict position sizing.
Enter the position 1-2 days before earnings to capture the final IV ramp. Plan to close the morning after the report once IV collapses — don't hold hoping for further decay.
