Top 20 High IV Watchlist

Options traders are paying 141% annualized to hold SNDK through earnings in 8 days, a level that lands in the 96th percentile of its own IV history. An 11% single-session drop has already reset the stock sharply lower, and the options market is still pricing a ±40.5% move over the next 30 days.

A 9.4% single-session drop has pushed MXL's 30-day IV to 118.9%, sitting at the 80th percentile of its historical range with no earnings date anchoring the move. No obvious catalyst in the data, which makes the elevated premium a story in itself for traders watching semiconductor names.

At an IV Rank of 99, VIAV is about as expensive relative to its own history as it ever gets, with the options market implying a ±33.2% move over the next 30 days. Earnings arrive in 8 days, and that event risk is almost certainly the engine behind premium sitting at the 98th percentile.

TTMI has hit a perfect IV Rank of 100, meaning options premium is at the highest level ever recorded in this ticker's history, with earnings due in 8 days driving the compression. The 30-day IV of 115.9% and a ±33.2% expected move reflect a market bracing for a potentially wide post-earnings range.

Earnings are today for AMKR, and the options market priced in a ±33% move over the next 30 days going into the release, with IV Rank pinned at 100. A 6.5% decline in the session tells part of the story; the resolution of that event risk will determine how quickly premium collapses.

Seven days from earnings, DOCN's 30-day IV of 114.6% sits at the 92nd percentile of its own history, with the options market already pricing a ±32.8% move. Premium at the 97th percentile by IV Percentile confirms this isn't a routine elevation.

Rambus reports earnings today, and its 30-day IV of 112.9% at an IV Rank of 95 reflects how aggressively traders bid up event premium ahead of the release. The stock barely moved on the session, up just 0.4%, so the post-earnings IV crush will be the real story.

With earnings in 14 days, LITE's options market is already repricing event risk, pushing 30-day IV to 112.7% and an IV Rank of 87. A 6.7% single-session drop adds directional pressure on top of the premium expansion.

WDC reports earnings in 8 days, and at an IV Rank of 87 and IV Percentile of 96, the options market is treating this as a high-stakes event relative to the stock's own history. The 30-day IV of 111.3% implies a ±31.9% move, consistent with what the storage sector has been delivering lately.

Seagate reports earnings today, and its 30-day IV of 111.1% at an IV Rank of 91 put premium near the top of its historical range ahead of the release. A 4.1% session decline into the earnings release signals the market was already leaning in one direction.

Coherent's 30-day IV of 108.3% sits at an IV Rank of 89 and IV Percentile of 95, expensive by any measure of its own history, with earnings still 15 days out. Premium is expanding early, which means the options market is building in event risk well before the calendar typically demands it.

CleanSpark reports earnings in 9 days, and while its IV Rank of 62 is moderate, the raw 30-day IV of 108.2% reflects the structural volatility that crypto-adjacent miners carry as a baseline. A 3.4% session drop adds near-term directional noise on top of the earnings overhang.

A 7.7% single-session gain is the loudest data point on HIMS today, pushing the stock sharply higher with earnings still 13 days out. The 30-day IV of 104.9% at an IV Rank of 67 shows premium is elevated but not yet at historical extremes, leaving room for further expansion as the earnings date closes in.

Super Micro's 30-day IV of 104.1% lands at the 94th percentile of its historical range despite an IV Rank of only 67, a split that reflects how structurally elevated this stock's volatility has been over the past year. Earnings arrive in 14 days, giving premium more runway to expand before the event.

KLA reports earnings today with an IV Rank of 100, the highest possible reading relative to its own history, and a 30-day IV of 103.7% implying a ±29.7% move. A 3.4% session decline into the earnings release shows the market was already repositioning ahead of the report.

No earnings date anchors MU's elevated premium, yet the 30-day IV of 103.2% sits at an IV Rank of 83 with no obvious catalyst in the data. For a large-cap semiconductor name to carry this level of premium without a near-term event is itself a signal that the broader chip sector is pricing in sustained uncertainty.

UVXY's 30-day IV of 99.7% sounds extreme until you remember this is a volatility product, where triple-digit IV is closer to normal than alarming. An IV Rank of just 32 confirms that by its own standards, options on UVXY are actually cheap right now.

Marathon Digital reports earnings in 9 days, and its 30-day IV of 98.9% at an IV Rank of 44 reflects the perpetually elevated baseline that Bitcoin miners carry rather than a sharp pre-earnings spike. Traders watching this name know the earnings move will compete with whatever Bitcoin does in the same window.

Applied Materials sits at an IV Rank of 89 and IV Percentile of 96 with earnings 16 days out, meaning premium is already near the top of its historical range well before the event window typically heats up. A 3.6% session drop adds to the pressure, keeping the options market on edge across the semiconductor equipment space.

Lam Research reports earnings in one day, and the options market has responded by pushing 30-day IV to 95.8% at an IV Rank of 88, expensive relative to its own history by almost any measure. A 4.5% session decline into the earnings release reflects traders already adjusting exposure ahead of the report.
