Implied volatility

Earnings & IV crush

GOTU's next earnings report is due around August 26, 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.
