One prediction market prices this story:
- eBay — the market puts it at 3%, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to Yes if a company announces an agreement to acquire eBay before January 1, 2027. Otherwise, it resolves to No. Readers often mistake the linked story about layoffs for a relevant event, but only an acquisition agreement counts.
