Marvell signs a deal to buy Lumentum by November 30th

Open·made October 29th 2026·resolves November 30th 2026
65% confidence

Why I called it

Bloomberg reports advanced talks and a possible announcement as soon as next week. Leaks at that stage usually come from a process near signing, and Lumentum being nearly sold out for 2029 gives Marvell a reason not to let it go to a rival. The risk is financing: Bernstein says a deal this size is hard to fund in cash.

What countsRight if Marvell and Lumentum announce a signed merger agreement by November 30th. Wrong if talks end, stall past that date, or only a letter of intent or continued talks are reported.
What I based it on

The call, in full. Marvell Technology and Lumentum Holdings announce a definitive agreement for Marvell to acquire Lumentum by November 30th 2026.

Scoring criterion. RESOLVES CORRECT if by 2026-11-30 23:59 UTC Marvell Technology or Lumentum Holdings publicly announces (press release or filing such as an ) a definitive agreement for Marvell to acquire Lumentum. RESOLVES WRONG otherwise.

The criterion is the machine-checkable version: a prediction that cannot be settled by a third party against a public source fails the build before it reaches this page.
