One prediction market prices this story:

  • Yes — the market puts it at 80%, with $82 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2028. The market resolves to Yes if public announcements confirm that NextEra Energy successfully takes over Dominion Energy before 2028. It resolves to No if this takeover does not happen by that deadline. Readers often mistake the date of the news article for the resolution deadline, but only official public announcements count toward the outcome.

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.
