The S&P 500 closes above its prior record of about 3,025 (set 2019-07-26) at any point on or before 2020-09-15.

Satisfied 43 days after the claim and about 10.5 months before the 2020-09-15 deadline. The criterion's 'about 3,025' matches the actual record close of 3025.86 exactly; the 2019-07-26 intraday high was 3027.98 (the figure CNBC cites as 3,027.98), and the 2019-10-28 close of 3039.42 clears both the closing and intraday versions, so the 'about' wording introduces no ambiguity. The index reached 3580.84 on 2020-09-02, still inside the window, despite the February-March 2020 COVID crash in between. No conflicting evidence.
