Fair Isaac Corp. shows moderately favorable conditions for premium selling. Yang-Zhang realized volatility reads 52.5% over 20 days versus a 39.4% 60-day baseline. The RV Ratio (HV 20d / IV 30d) is 0.88, indicating calming conditions relative to implied expectations. An information technology sector component tracked by volradar. For premium sellers tracking FICO, this ratio suggests options are likely priced for more movement than the stock is currently delivering.
VolRadar has tracked FICO for 18 trading days in this period. The RV ratio ranged between 1.18 and 1.32, with 0% of sessions showing favorable premium selling conditions.
Based on current realized volatility, traders can expect FICO to move approximately ±$34.90 (3.3%) per day and ±$78.03 (7.4%) over five trading days. At a stock price of $1055.38, these ranges are derived from the Yang-Zhang volatility model which accounts for overnight gaps and intraday range — more accurate than simple close-to-close calculations. Premium sellers typically place short strikes outside these 1-standard-deviation ranges to achieve approximately 68%+ probability of profit.
Current conditions on FICO point toward range-bound strategies like iron condor. Moderately calm conditions (ratio 0.88). Range-bound behavior favors iron condors. Iron Condor benefits from time decay while defining maximum risk on both sides — a structure that suits FICO's current volatility profile where directional edge is limited but overall conditions are acceptable for premium collection.
FICO has earnings in roughly 16 trading days. While not immediate, this proximity means implied volatility may begin expanding as the market prices in event risk. Premium sellers should factor this into DTE selection — positions expiring before earnings avoid the binary risk entirely, while positions spanning the event carry significantly higher uncertainty.
VolRadar tracks FICO daily as part of the S&P 500 universe, providing Yang-Zhang (OHLC-based) realized volatility across 10, 20, and 60-day windows, RV ratio analysis, expected move calculations, and premium selling condition assessments. Note: RV values on this page use the Yang-Zhang estimator (captures overnight gaps); VRP and RV Ratio use ORATS close-to-close RV to match the IV data source. Data is updated daily after market close (~6:00 PM ET). All analysis is for educational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice. Options trading involves significant risk of loss.

Fair Isaac Corp.'s volatility is measured using two key metrics. The RV Ratio compares realized volatility (ORATS HV 20d) to implied volatility (IV 30d). When the RV Ratio drops below 0.85, realized movement is well below what options are pricing — the sweet spot for premium sellers. VRP (Volatility Risk Premium) measures the gap between IV and HV in percentage points — positive VRP means options are overpriced relative to actual movement. Current RV Ratio: 0.88.
Fair Isaac Corp.'s snapshot: IV Rank 88% (elevated premiums), VRP +8.3pp (options overpriced), RV Ratio 0.88 (normal volatility). These three metrics work together — IV Rank shows historical context, VRP shows current overpricing, and RV Ratio shows the volatility trend. See the IV Analysis page for peer comparisons and deeper breakdown.

Key risks for Fair Isaac Corp. right now: earnings in 16 days — the largest source of overnight gap risk that can blow through short strikes. These risks are worse when combined — for example, selling into earnings with negative VRP removes both your statistical edge and your safety margin. Use VolRadar's sub-pages to contextualize: VRP Analysis for edge confirmation, IV Analysis for premium adequacy, and Expected Move for strike distance guidance.
An IV Rank of 88% means Fair Isaac Corp.'s current implied volatility is higher than most readings over the past year. Elevated IV can indicate the market expects larger moves ahead, creating higher premiums for sellers but also higher risk if the move materializes.
Fair Isaac Corp.'s Volatility Risk Premium (VRP) is +8.3pp, meaning implied volatility exceeds realized volatility by that amount. A positive VRP indicates options are overpriced relative to actual stock movement — this is the statistical edge premium sellers seek.
Multiple signals are unfavorable. The best trade today might be no trade.
