One prediction market prices this story:

  • Uber — the market puts it at 3%, closing 1 Jan 2027. The outcome is Yes if a company announces an agreement to acquire Uber before January 1, 2027. The outcome is No if no such acquisition agreement occurs by that date. Readers often mistake the linked story about Uber buying ezCater as relevant, but only an acquisition of Uber counts.
