Polymarket launches a public company earnings forecast zone.

According to BlockBeats, on September 16, the prediction market Polymarket launched a zone for forecasting the earnings of public companies. The official statement indicates that in traditional markets, earnings performance typically combines two types of risks: the results themselves and the stock price response. A company may exceed expectations but see its stock price fall, or fail to meet expectations yet see its stock price rise, leading to unclear signals. Polymarket has stripped away this complexity, allowing users to hold based solely on the results themselves (exceeding vs not meeting), without exposure to the effects of stock price repricing.
