Earnings season creates some of the most interesting opportunities on prediction markets, where traders can bet on whether companies will beat specific revenue or earnings thresholds rather than simply guessing whether a stock will rise or fall.

Micron, Nike and Accenture all report next week. Micron needs to beat $32.22 EPS versus a $31.16 consensus. Nike needs more than $0.45 against $0.44. Accenture needs more than $3.21 against roughly $3.18.

Polymarket prices those chances very differently: Micron 96%, Nike 81%, Accenture 31%.

Here's a breakdown of how you can trade earnings reports on Polymarket, and use our promo code to add some extra money to your wallet.

This Week's Earnings Report Slate

Micron — Wednesday, Sept. 30 after market close

Micron has the highest hurdle, but also the strongest recent earnings momentum.

Last quarter it reported $25.11 in EPS against expectations of $21.39, a $3.72 beat. This time, Polymarket only needs Micron to beat the current consensus by a little more than $1.

That helps explain why the contract is at 96%.

The market is betting that the same pattern continues: strong memory pricing, AI and data-center demand keep pushing earnings higher, and Wall Street is still too conservative.

The interesting part is the price. At 96%, Polymarket is not just saying Micron probably beats. It is saying there is almost no chance it fails to clear $32.22.

That leaves very little room for a merely good quarter. Micron could still beat Wall Street and lose this contract if the beat is smaller than the market expects.

Nike — Thursday, Oct. 1 after market close

Nike has the easiest hurdle of the three.

The contract sits only one cent above consensus, and Nike beat by seven cents last quarter.

The problem is that analysts have become more cautious. UBS is looking for a miss, while weak global sales, China and tariff pressure are still hanging over the quarter.

So Nike does not need a blowout. It just needs to keep its recent earnings streak alive.

At 81%, Polymarket is giving that streak a lot of credit.

Accenture — Thursday, Oct. 1 before market open

Accenture has the toughest setup.

Its full-year guidance implies roughly $3.11 to $3.23 in fourth-quarter EPS, while the Polymarket contract requires more than $3.21.

That means Accenture needs to land almost at the very top of its own range.

The contract also settles on GAAP earnings, so any restructuring or other charges would make the hurdle even harder to clear.

That makes the 31% price much easier to understand.

The trade

My favorite trade is Nike No at 19¢.

Nike only needs to clear a small premium to consensus, and its recent earnings streak supports the Yes side. But 81% still looks aggressive with analysts getting more cautious on sales, China and tariffs.

UBS is already looking for a miss this quarter. If Nike simply lands around consensus instead of beating again, the No pays.

Micron has the strongest earnings setup, but I do not want to pay 96¢ for it. Accenture’s 31% looks more justified given how close the contract sits to the top of its own guidance.

Nike is the one where I think the price leaves the most room to be wrong.
