LOW closed at $180.80 on Oct 2, 2026 with 30-day implied volatility of 30.2%. That is in the upper half of its one-year range (IV rank 57), so premiums are somewhat richer than usual for LOW.

The 14-day RSI of 25.5 is under 30, a level often described as oversold. The 14-day average true range is $4.48, about 2.5% 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.
