Implied volatility
RLX typically trades with moderate implied volatility, broadly in line with other large-cap stocks. Implied volatility drives option prices, so it is worth checking the live chain before you trade.
Earnings & IV crush
RLX's next earnings report is due around August 21, 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
RLX pays a dividend of about 5.2% 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.
