Implied volatility
WYNN 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 WYNN 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.
WYNN's IV Rank is 0/100: implied volatility sits 0% of the way between its 13-day low (32%) and high (46%), and is above 0% of recorded days. Premium is historically cheap, which favours net-debit strategies like long options and debit spreads.
Off that volatility, the options market is pricing a move of about ±$8.95 (±9%) in WYNN by 2026-09-11 — a range of roughly $93.34 to $111. Strikes inside that band hold most of the premium and see most of the action.
Across strikes, downside puts on WYNN 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.
WYNN insider trading activity (SEC Form 4)
Open-market insider transactions at WYNN 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
WYNN's next earnings report is due around November 5, 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
WYNN 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.

With 10.3% of WYNN's float sold short, squeeze and gap risk are elevated — one reason its options can stay expensive.
