Lumentum — Implied volatility rank, VRP edge, and volatility regime
Lumentum (LITE) operates in the Information Technology sector and has actively traded listed options. Its IV Rank sits at 79.5%, placing premiums in the rich half of the 52-week range. VRP of +6.7pp shows options are meaningfully overpricing realized movement. Rich premiums may suit short-volatility setups. See Expected Move for strike placement.
This helps you judge whether implied volatility is elevated enough to justify selling options. High IV Rank means premiums are rich compared to the past year.
IV Rank above 50 generally favors premium sellers — you're collecting above-average premium.

Lumentum's IV Rank at 79.5% indicates options premiums are above average, sitting in the upper third of the 252-day range. This is a favorable zone for premium sellers — IV is above its 1-year median, meaning more premium is available than usual. The key question is whether this elevated IV reflects genuine future risk or an overreaction. Check the VRP (currently +6.7pp) to confirm whether the market is overpricing risk.
Lumentum's IV Rank measures where current implied volatility sits relative to its 252-day range. At 79.5%, it indicates how rich or cheap options premiums are compared to the past year. Premium sellers generally prefer IV Rank above 30–50%, as higher IV means more premium per contract and a greater statistical edge — assuming VRP confirms actual overpricing.

Lumentum's volatility is calculated using the Yang-Zhang estimator, which incorporates overnight gaps, opening range, and intraday movement — more accurate than simple close-to-close calculations for stocks with significant pre/post-market activity. The RV Ratio (0.94) compares realized volatility (HV 20d) to implied volatility (IV 30d). Below 0.85 means actual movement is well below what options are pricing in — favorable for premium sellers.
IV 30d (105.4%) − HV 20d (98.8%) = +6.7pp
HV 20d (98.8%) ÷ IV 30d (105.4%). Below 1.0 = options overpriced.
