2 prediction markets price this story:

• GLP-1 — resolved “No” on 13 Oct 2026. The market resolves to Yes if an Albertsons representative mentions GLP-1 during the upcoming earnings call or its question-and-answer session. The outcome is No if the term does not appear in that specific event. Readers often mistake the deadline, assuming any mention of GLP-1 by Albertsons counts rather than only what happens on the next scheduled earnings call.
• Inflation Reduction Act / IRA — the market puts it at 65%, with $7 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 31 Mar 2027. The market resolves to Yes if a Kroger representative mentions the Inflation Reduction Act or IRA during the upcoming earnings call, including the question-and-answer session. It resolves to No if the topic is not mentioned in that specific window. Readers often mistake the deadline, thinking it applies to any future statement rather than just this single scheduled event.
