What will DeepSeek's share be on Oct 24, 2026?

Comparing prediction market odds to analyst forecasts reveals interesting insights into collective intelligence. Often, this market reflects a wisdom-of-the-crowd effect, potentially incorporating information not readily available in traditional analyst reports. If analysts predict a specific outcome with high confidence, we might see similar odds reflected here. However, discrepancies can arise if traders perceive risks or opportunities that analysts have overlooked, or if they have access to different data. It's a valuable exercise to see where the crowd aligns with, or diverges from, expert opinion.
