Illustrative model input

The transaction timetable, financing terms and any remedy language should move the probability. Generic deal sentiment should not.

Illustrative risk factor

Chinese clearance is the gating event. A revised public timetable or change in regulator engagement should update the forecast immediately.

Forecast outlook

The deal remains more likely than not to close in Q1 2027, but Chinese regulatory clearance is the gating event.

The probability should rise with evidence of regulatory progress and a reaffirmed timetable. It should fall if the parties extend the schedule, alter financing terms or signal material remedies.

Through 31 March 2027

Updated as new regulatory filings, project milestones and expert evidence change the probability.

Forecast performance

Accuracy is measurable.

Authority records numerical probabilities, tracks revisions and evaluates forecasts against resolved events. Investment teams can assess the evidence and performance independently.
