Implied volatility
ALLE is currently trading with moderate implied volatility, broadly in line with other large-cap stocks. On the options we scanned that was around 32% implied volatility, and higher implied volatility means richer premiums and wider expected moves.
Options on ALLE currently price in about 32% implied volatility, versus roughly 23% the stock has actually realised over the past month. That makes options relatively expensive — an edge for strategies that sell premium, such as credit spreads and iron condors.
Off that volatility, the options market is pricing a move of about ±$14.98 (±10%) in ALLE by 2026-10-16 — a range of roughly $138 to $168. Strikes inside that band hold most of the premium and see most of the action.
Across strikes, downside puts on ALLE trade at a higher implied volatility than upside calls — the market is paying up for crash protection. That skew favours selling put spreads or buying calls over symmetric trades.
Earnings & IV crush
ALLE's next earnings report is due around October 22, 2026. Options that expire after it price in a binary move, so their implied volatility is elevated and usually collapses right after the announcement — an "IV crush". If your expiration falls before this date, the trade sidesteps the event.
Dividend and assignment risk
ALLE pays a dividend of about 1.5% a year, so short or covered calls on it carry early-assignment risk around each ex-dividend date — in-the-money calls are most exposed just before the stock goes ex-dividend.
