These are major companies in the same industry that I want to track during the year. Here are the opening prices from 1/2/2025 for each of these companies:
BA - $178.77
GD - $265.27
LMT - $484.56
NOC - $471.99
RTX - $117.01
Final result will be change in its individual stock price from opening 1/2/2025 to close 12/31/2025, not which company ends with the highest market cap or highest stock price or volume.
Note: I do not generally trade or bet on my own markets, but because I work for one of these organizations, I specifically will not influence this market in any way beyond reporting the changes in stock price.
Update 2025-02-16 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): - Resolution Metric: This market will resolve based on the highest absolute change in stock price from the opening price on 1/2/2025 to the closing price on 12/31/2025, rather than on the highest percentage increase.
Example: If Raytheon gains 19% over the year but Boeing drops 20%, the market will resolve in favor of Boeing due to the larger absolute movement.
Interpretation: Both positive and negative changes are considered based on their absolute value.

This market will resolve based on the highest absolute change in the stock price from the opening price on 1/2/2025 to the closing price on 12/31/2025.
Only markets with the phrase "highest overall change" (like this one and the semiconductor market) use this criterion.
Other markets using terms such as "best year" will resolve based on the highest increase or lowest overall decrease.
