Options Volatility and Implied Earnings Moves for Major Companies on September 09, 2025

Today's earnings reports are poised to trigger significant volatility across several stocks, with options markets pricing in double-digit swings for multiple companies. Designer Brands (DBI) leads pre-market movers with an implied +/-31.65% move, while Fuelcell Energy (FCEL) and Korn Ferry (KFY) show 14.69% and 10.21% expected volatility respectively.

The after-hours session brings equally consequential reports, particularly for Rubrik, Inc. (RBRK) at +/-16.07% and A-Mark Precious Metals (AMRK) at +/-11.51%. GameStop (GME) continues its tradition of high earnings volatility with a 10.25% implied move, mirroring patterns seen in meme-stock crypto counterparts like DOGE and SHIB.

Options activity preceding these announcements serves as a critical gauge of market expectations, mirroring the predictive functions of derivatives markets in crypto assets. The absence of direct cryptocurrency earnings reports today shifts focus to traditional equity volatility, though parallel strategies from crypto options trading may prove equally applicable to these equity moves.
