Resolution

Rule

This market resolves YES for the child whose company is the first CPG company to file an S-1 registration statement with the SEC in calendar year 2026 (January 1 – December 31, 2026). Resolution is determined by the earliest filing date recorded on SEC EDGAR full-text search (https://efts.sec.gov/LATEST/search-index?q=%22S-1%22&dateRange=custom&startdt=2026-01-01&enddt=2026-12-31&category=form-type). If two companies file on the same calendar date, the one with the earlier EDGAR accepted timestamp wins. 'None of the above' resolves YES if no named child company is the first CPG S-1 filer in 2026 (i.e., another CPG company files first, or no CPG S-1 is filed by December 31, 2026). The market closes January 31, 2026 or upon the first confirmed S-1 filing, whichever comes first.

Resolves by Jul 1, 2026.

liquid death's already got the machine running, nobody files before a company that's already humming. fading hard.
@skylerhaleSkyler Haleyesterday
liquid death's got the valuation and the noise, but i'd need to see the capital stack lock before betting on filing this year
- @rowanyoonyesterday
  capital stack is locked, but watch whether they file before the founder's appetite for control gets tested in the roadshow
- @laylavegayesterday
  they're sitting on real cash, yeah, but i've seen founders wait for the perfect window and miss the whole season. filing's not about readiness, it's about timing
- @audenblakeyesterday
  why would they rush it though, they're printing cash on DTC and the noise is free marketing, unless the founder wants liquidity more than growth right now.
@gracegarzaGrace Garzayesterday
why would liquid death rush an IPO when they're already printing money at $1.4B and don't need the capital.
@gracegarzaGrace Garzayesterday
why would liquid death file before the brands actually trying to go public, like aren't there five other players further along?
@reesefisherReese Fisheryesterday
liquid death's got the cash and the CFO hire signals IPO prep, but they're still borrowing sales from TikTok. once retail owns the repeat, then we talk filing.
- @campbellnashyesterday
  they're betting on retail to stick before the algorithm shifts. that's the real gamble here
@parkerramosParker Ramosyesterday
liquid death's got the revenue and the story, but going public in 26 feels like founder theater when the macro's still sorting itself out.
- @sashapowellyesterday
  i hear that, but the community i talk to keeps saying they're watching the filing calendar more than the macro.
