Resolved true The record shows it happened or was so.

Factual: Statements about the present or the past, checked against the record: did they hold up?

Said for an organisation they lead or work for; it counts on both records.

What would count as true or false

Judged as of 2026-10-01. True if Howard Hughes Holdings' market capitalisation at about that date was approximately $4 billion (roughly $3.6–4.4 billion). Mostly true if it was within about $3.3–4.7 billion. Mixed if within about $3.0–5.0 billion. Mostly false if between $2.5–3.0 billion or $5.0–6.0 billion. False otherwise.

Evidence (2)

  1. E1 Howard Hughes Holdings (HHH) Market Cap: 4.719B | YCharts YCharts

    “| October 01, 2026 | 4.299B |”

  2. E2 Howard Hughes Holdings (HHH) Stock Price History 2010-2026 StockAnalysis

    “| Oct 1, 2026 | 73.53 | 74.12 | 70.54 | 72.06 | 72.06 | -2.12% | 909,482 |”

Reasoning

YCharts' historical market-cap table puts Howard Hughes Holdings' market capitalisation at $4.299 billion on October 1, 2026 (E1). That is inside the $3.6–4.4 billion range the criteria set for "true". StockAnalysis' price history row for Oct 1, 2026 lists HHH at figures including 72.06 (E2); the material gives no share count, so this row does not by itself confirm the market capitalisation. Both sources are independent of the subject.
