Illustrative example at BZ's latest available price, computed with the same engine as the tool. Live option fills and the real IV skew refresh during US market hours.

Implied volatility

BZ 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 BZ currently price in about 32% implied volatility, versus roughly 48% the stock has actually realised over the past month. That makes options relatively cheap — an edge for strategies that buy premium, such as long calls, long puts and debit spreads.

Off that volatility, the options market is pricing a move of about ±$1.51 (±10%) in BZ by 2026-09-18 — a range of roughly $13.88 to $16.89. Strikes inside that band hold most of the premium and see most of the action.

Across strikes, downside puts on BZ 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.

BZ insider trading activity (SEC Form 4)

Open-market insider transactions at BZ over roughly the last six months, from SEC Form 4 filings. Open-market buys are the rarer, more telling signal — routine selling under pre-arranged plans is common, so read a net-selling figure with that in mind.

Earnings & IV crush

BZ's next earnings report is due around August 25, 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.

With earnings roughly 10 days out, BZ's 32% implied volatility is inflated by event premium — and it usually collapses the moment results drop ("IV crush"). That rewards defined-risk premium sellers when the move stays muted, and punishes option buyers who paid the inflated price. Keep size small and risk defined through the report.

Dividend and assignment risk

BZ pays a dividend of about 1% 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.
