  • Yes — the market puts it at 79%, 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.
