Overview
Mobility Global provides data, analytics, and technology solutions for the automotive industry. Its CARFAX segment offers vehicle history reports, valuations, and service reminders to consumers and businesses, while its B2B segment supplies data, forecasting, and marketing tools such as automotiveMastermind and Polk Auto Solutions to OEMs, suppliers, dealers, and financial services. The company relies on a massive VIN database—832 million VINs covering 99% of global production in 145 markets—primarily sold through subscriptions that account for most of its revenue, with additional data services and tools. Its goal is to help customers make informed decisions and enable trusted vehicle transactions by delivering broad, scalable automotive data and analytics.

What believers are saying
- November 12, 2026 revenue grew 7.4% to $478 million, beating expectations.
- Management raised 2026 adjusted EBITDA guidance to $750-$760 million and kept revenue guidance.
- The October 2026 $800 million buyback and $0.24 dividend signal cash generation strength.
What critics are saying
- Q4 2026 looks lowest-margin because standalone costs and seasonal spending compress profits.
- CARFAX and B2B still depend on auto-sales cycles, dealer budgets, and OEM marketing spend.
- If data advantage erodes, MBGL becomes a commodity analytics vendor after 2027 repurchases.
What makes Mobility Global unique
- CARFAX and B2B give Mobility Global consumer trust plus enterprise workflow lock-in.
- Its 832 million-VIN database spans 145 markets and 99% of global vehicle production.
- July 1, 2026 separation lets MBGL steer capital allocation without S&P Global constraints.
