SPGI S&P Global Inc

$SPGI S&P Global is trading at 21.7x earnings, it's lowest valuation in over 5 years- But they're set to benefit from two major tailwinds. First, the continued shift toward passive investing. S&P Global earns licensing fees from ETFs and mutual funds that track its benchmarks, including the S&P 500. As assets in those funds grow, so can the fees it collects. In Q2, its Indices business grew revenue 20%, with asset-linked fees increasing 22%. Second, the enormous financing needs of the AI buildout. Data centers, chips, and power infrastructure require substantial capital. When companies fund those investments through debt rated by S&P Global, that creates opportunities to earn issuance fees and ongoing monitoring revenue. We’ve already seen how stronger issuance can help: Ratings revenue increased 17% in Q2, driven partly by higher investment-grade bond issuance. AI financing could extend that opportunity.

$SPGI This move is done. I kept accumulating near the yellow S/R pivot and green supporting trendline for months. From my $373 position, I'm up 26% on this move as this rallies +4.5% in the pre-market. This is one of my top positions. I'll detail my TA outlook in a Substack post. Congrats longs.

$SPGI — Three months ago, S&P Global framed Kensho/Cap IQ as the structural centerpiece of its AI strategy, "bringing that really close together with the business." This quarter: same business now under strategic review for potential separation. The $100M EDO cost-savings target (60% achieved) disappears when an analyst asks directly.

$SPGI Does a Capital IQ split lift S&P Global by shedding data from its 36%-margin Market Intelligence unit? 🏢 S&P Global, the credit-ratings and index company worth about $133.39B at $450.65 a share at 16:00 ET on October 26, 2026, is reviewing options, including a separation, for Capital IQ and associated data businesses, while keeping RatingsDirect, RatingsXpress and Enterprise Solutions ⚠️ Capital IQ sits inside Market Intelligence, which lifted Q3 adjusted operating profit 10% to $457M, about 23% of the group's $1,969M; the release gives no profit figure for the businesses under review, so how much of that a separation would remove is unknown 📅 Next: The earnings call is today, October 27, at 8:30 a.m. EDT, and S&P sets no timeframe for the review and gives no assurance of any transaction Source: SEC 8-K Q3 release, Oct 27

$SPGI S&P Global reports Tuesday before the open. Zacks consensus is 4.43 dollars of EPS, down 6.3% year over year, on 3.64 billion dollars of revenue, down 6.4%. That decline is mostly the Mobility spin. The separation took effect July 1, so Q3 is the first quarter with no Mobility in the numbers at all, and full-year EPS guidance sits at 17.50 to 17.75 dollars, down from a 19.40 to 19.65 range that still included it. The segments underneath are still growing though. Indices consensus is 546.7 million dollars, up 18.3%, Market Intelligence is seen at 1.27 billion, up 2.4%, and Ratings at 1.25 billion, up 1.2%.

$SPGI You're welcome. There is an opportunity to hit the resistance trendline before ER. LONG SPGI since 380s. Top 5 position.

$SPGI can I get some Theta decay. Let’s see if a risk off Friday can help me to buy to close my covered call.
