Implied volatility
CZR 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 CZR currently price in about 32% implied volatility, versus roughly 13% 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 ±$2,72 (±9%) in CZR by 2026-08-21 — a range of roughly $27,32 to $32,76. Strikes inside that band hold most of the premium and see most of the action.
Across strikes, downside puts on CZR 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
CZR's next earnings report is due around 28 luglio 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 6 days out, CZR'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.

- 1.76
- 52-week range
- $17.86–$30.88 (94% up the range)

With 10.1% of CZR's float sold short, squeeze and gap risk are elevated — one reason its options can stay expensive.
