The outcome is decided by the first verifiable public evidence of the company's formal IPO announcement, drawing on sources such as corporate press releases, regulatory filings including SEC EDGAR, official stock exchange announcements, and widely recognized financial information services. An announcement means a formal statement by the company or its authorized representatives, such as a press release, official filing, or public investor communication, stating its plan to list shares on a recognized US or foreign stock exchange, and the outcome depends on that announcement rather than on the shares beginning to trade. The outcome is Yes if the company named in the market question makes such an announcement by 11:59 PM CT on December 31, 2026 and No otherwise, and it may be determined early once a qualifying announcement is confirmed. If the source delays publishing information needed for resolution, resolution waits until it is published.
