Event Analysis
Summary
The question of whether Pershing Square USA will complete an IPO by December 31, 2024, has seen significant developments throughout the year. Initially announced with ambitious fundraising targets, the IPO has faced multiple delays and complications, with the most recent news indicating a postponement from its planned launch.
Based on the available evidence, including SEC filings, news reports, and company statements, the likelihood of completing an IPO within the remaining month of 2024 appears extremely low. The combination of regulatory hurdles, market conditions, and the limited time remaining in the year strongly suggests that the current market probability of 98.7% for "No" is well-calibrated.
Analysis
Economic Background
- The Federal Reserve's tight monetary policy and high interest rates have created challenging conditions for IPOs in 2024
- Market volatility and investor sentiment have remained cautious, particularly toward financial sector offerings
- The broader IPO market has seen numerous delays and postponements throughout 2024
Outcome Analysis
"Yes" Outcome (1.3%)
- Would require extremely rapid execution of remaining IPO steps
- SEC registration statement is filed but requires final approvals
- Technical possibility exists but faces severe time constraints
- Would need to overcome recent postponement announcement
"No" Outcome (98.7%)
- Strongly supported by recent CNBC report of IPO postponement
- Limited working days remaining in 2024
- Historical precedent shows IPOs rarely complete during December
- Aligns with broader pattern of delayed financial sector IPOs

Prediction
Based on comprehensive analysis of available evidence, I predict with high confidence (9/10) that Pershing Square USA will NOT complete an IPO by December 31, 2024. The combination of recent postponement news, limited remaining time, and procedural requirements makes a successful IPO completion extremely unlikely within the specified timeframe.
