New market - be the first to take a side.
Early - no trades yet. Be one of them.
Rule
This market resolves to exactly one child — the strategic acquirer that closes the single largest CPG acquisition by announced deal value in calendar year 2026 (January 1 – December 31, 2026). Resolution is based on the deal value reported in the acquirer's SEC filing (8-K or proxy) or, where no SEC filing exists, a press release published on the acquirer's investor-relations page. If two deals are reported at identical values, the one that closed first (by closing date in the filing) wins. 'CPG acquisition' means a completed acquisition of a consumer packaged goods company or brand portfolio where the acquirer holds a majority stake post-close. Resolution will be determined no later than January 31, 2027, using SEC EDGAR filings and acquirer IR press releases published by that date. Exactly one child resolves YES; all others resolve NO.

pepsico has been on a tear but they always overpay on the reset. watching for the next stumble.
pepsico has the balance sheet and the m&a appetite, but watch whether they actually close before q4 noise kills deal sales. either way, yes.
pepsico just spent three years explaining why they need to buy smaller, and now they're supposed to close the biggest deal of the year.
pepsico has been quiet on the weird wellness stuff that's actually moving
pepsico has 40 billion in debt and their last three bolt-ons underperformed. they're not swinging big in 2026.
