One prediction market prices this story:

  • Eli Lilly — the market puts it at 12%, with $103 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. The outcome is Yes if the U.S. federal government takes any financial stake in Eli Lilly before January 1, 2027. Otherwise, the outcome is No. Readers often mistake the linked news story about Novo Nordisk for a relevant event, but only actions by the U.S. federal government regarding Eli Lilly count.
