This event group determines which company will hold the second-largest market capitalization globally as of May 31, 2026 market close. Both Polymarket and Predict platforms offer identical binary outcome markets on the same set of companies (NVIDIA, Apple, Microsoft, Tesla, Alphabet, Amazon, Saudi Aramco, Broadcom, and others) with a catch-all 'any other company' option on Polymarket.
Unified Resolution Criteria (Consistent across platforms)
Both platforms apply identical resolution criteria: identify the single company with the second-highest market capitalization globally on May 31, 2026 at market close, determined by consensus of credible reporting.
Primary resolution logic:
Consensus of credible reporting on global market capitalizations as of May 31, 2026 market close
Core resolution logic:
Rank all publicly traded companies worldwide by market capitalization as of May 31, 2026 market close
Identify the company in second position by market cap
Exactly one binary outcome (the identified company) resolves YES; all others resolve NO
If the second-largest company is not explicitly listed on Polymarket, the 'any other company' option resolves YES
Resolution uses consensus of credible financial reporting sources (e.g., Bloomberg, Reuters, Yahoo Finance, official exchange data)
Edge cases & Clarifications:
Tie for second place: If two companies have identical market caps at market close, credible reporting consensus determines which is ranked second; resolution follows that consensus determination
Market disruption or halt: Resolution uses the official market close price on May 31, 2026; if markets close early or experience disruption, the last official closing price is used
Company delisting or merger: If a listed company is delisted, acquired, or merged before May 31, 2026, its market cap is determined as of the last trading day; if it no longer exists on May 31, 2026, it cannot be second-largest and resolves NO
Polymarket catch-all: The 'any other company' option on Polymarket resolves YES only if the actual second-largest company is not among the 29 explicitly named companies; otherwise it resolves NO
Timing:
Resolution occurs after May 31, 2026 market close, once credible reporting consensus on global market capitalizations is available (typically within 1-2 business days)
