One prediction market prices this story:

• Will Broadcom be the largest company in the world by market cap on October 31, 2026? — the market puts it at 0%, with $3k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Nov 2026. Broadcom must hold the highest global market capitalization at the end of trading on October 31, 2026, for the Yes outcome to trigger. The No outcome applies if any other company exceeds Broadcom's value at that specific time. Readers often mistake the resolution date or assume current news headlines determine the final ranking instead of the actual closing price on the deadline.

Odds are the market's probability that the outcome happens, updated every few minutes. They are information about what traders expect, not a forecast we make and not investment advice.
