BB closed at $8.80 on Sep 28, 2026 with 30-day implied volatility of 64.6%. That is in the lower half of its one-year range (IV rank 26), so premiums are on the modest side for BB. Measured by IV percentile, IV is higher than 51% of the past year's readings. Options expiring Oct 30 (32 days out) price a one standard deviation move of about $1.71, or 19.5%.
The price is above both its 50-day (+5.1%) and 200-day (+40.8%) moving averages. It is 31.3% below its 52-week high and 179.4% above its 52-week low. The 14-day RSI of 57.7 is between 30 and 70, neither overbought nor oversold. The 14-day average true range is $0.53, about 6.0% of the price, a measure of a typical day's range.

Each expiration has its own implied volatility, and short-dated IV reacts more to near-term events, so the nearest expiration can differ a lot from the 30-day figure.
