One prediction market prices this story:

  • Eli Lilly — the market puts it at 15%, with $493 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.

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.
