The options market is pricing an expected move of ±7.14% (±$3.45) for CNA (CNA Financial Corporation) earnings on Monday, November 2, 2026 (before open). That is the mid price of the $50.00 at-the-money straddle expiring Friday, November 20, 2026, with CNA at $48.32 as of Oct 21, 2026 3:59 PM ET (CBOE delayed data). The nearest expiration is 18 days after the report, so this straddle also prices non-earnings movement and likely overstates the pure earnings move. Note: these option quotes are indicative only (a zero bid, very wide spread, or no strike near the price), so this figure may overstate the real expected move.
