Will PayPal be acquired before 2027?

Description
This group forecasts which companies will be acquired by another entity before the end of 2026. Resolution depends on a credible announcement of an acquisition agreement, even if the deal doesn't ultimately close. Mergers also count as acquisitions for resolution purposes.

Unified Resolution Criteria (Consistent across platforms)
Both Polymarket and Predict utilize identical resolution criteria based on an announced acquisition agreement before the specified deadline.Primary resolution logic: Official information from the listed company and/or its leadership; consensus of credible reportingCore resolution logic:
- An acquisition agreement announcement by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET is required for a 'Yes' resolution.
- Mergers where the listed company is subsumed by another entity will resolve to 'Yes'.
- Completion of the acquisition is *not* required for a 'Yes' resolution; the announcement is sufficient.
Edge cases & clarifications:
- Failed Acquisition: If an acquisition is announced but later falls through, the market will still resolve to 'Yes' because the key event is the announcement of the agreement.
- Multiple Bids: If multiple entities bid for the company, the announcement of *any* agreement to acquire will trigger a 'Yes' resolution.
Polymarket
This market will resolve to “Yes” if credible reporting confirms that any entity enters into an agreement to acquire the listed company by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. Mergers where the listed company is subsumed by another entity will count toward a "Yes" resolution. An announced agreement between the listed company and an acquiring entity will qualify for a “Yes” resolution, regardless of whether the acquisition is ultimately completed. The primary resolution source for this market is official information from the listed company and/or its leadership; however, a consensus of credible reporting will also be used.
