HRI implied volatility by horizon

As of Nov 10, 4:00 PM ET

At-the-money IV interpolated between 4 listed expiries. A dash means no listed expiry brackets that horizon.

Horizon 7 days 14 days 30 days 60 days 90 days 180 days 1 year
ATM implied volatility - 78.8% 70.7% 64.7% 61.6% 57.2% -

HRI 30-day implied volatility is 70.7% and 90-day is 61.6%, so the curve is inverted: near-dated options cost 9.1 volatility points more than 90-day ones, the shape an earnings date or another scheduled event inside the next month produces. Its 30-day level is higher than 79% of the 1,449 tickers we cover, and its curve is more inverted than 90% of them.

What implied volatility tells you

Implied volatility (IV) is the market's forecast of how much HRI is expected to move, expressed as an annualized percentage and backed out of the price traders are actually paying for HRI options.

Higher IV means options are pricing in bigger expected swings and cost more; lower IV means the market expects calmer conditions and options are cheaper.

High or low for HRI?

IV percentile is the share of the past year's daily IV readings that sit below today's IV. A percentile above 80 means HRI's current IV is richer than at least 80% of the last year, i.e. statistically high. Below 20 means it's statistically cheap.

This is different from IV rank, which places today's IV between the past year's high and low instead of counting where it falls in the full distribution; a single outlier spike can distort rank without moving percentile.

IV vs realized: the premium

The volatility risk premium (VRP) is implied volatility minus realized volatility. A positive VRP means HRI options have been priced above the moves that actually happened, the edge options sellers try to harvest. See VRP for the full breakdown.
