Simplify's Take
What believers are saying
- Q2 2026 revenue grew 11%, with Ratings up 17% and Indices up 20%.
- Management raised 2026 guidance; buybacks reached $7 billion, signaling confidence and cash generation.
- AI Data Portal and datacenterHawk expand distribution into credit workflows and AI infrastructure data.
What critics are saying
- Moody's, Bloomberg, LSEG, and FactSet attack adjacent workflows, compressing pricing power by 2027.
- OpenZeppelin integration exposes S&P to blockchain security failures and reputational damage.
- Ratings and indices depend on capital markets; a prolonged issuance freeze hits growth fast.
What makes S&P Global unique
- S&P Global owns ratings, indices, and benchmarks; no rival matches that breadth.
- S&P Global Ratings and S&P Dow Jones Indices drive most profits and pricing power.
- The OpenZeppelin deal extends S&P into onchain finance security and benchmarks.

Company News
US stock index futures edged higher after markets closed on Thursday, with investors buoyed by cooling Treasury yields. The S&P 500 ended the day 0.2% higher, whilst the Nasdaq 100 rose 0.3% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.04%. Treasury yields reversed course during late-morning trading, with 10-year and 30-year yields sliding 5 and 3 basis points respectively. The 2-year Treasury yield dropped 10 basis points. Market attention now turns to Friday's September employment data, with consensus projections anticipating 84,000 payroll additions and an unchanged unemployment rate of 4.1%. Traders are pricing in a 72% probability that the Federal Reserve will hold borrowing costs steady in October.
US stock futures slipped Tuesday morning, with S&P 500 contracts down 0.4% and Nasdaq-100 futures falling nearly 1% amid renewed inflation concerns. August durable goods orders remained flat, though non-defence capital goods excluding aircraft rose 1.6%, suggesting continued business investment. Consumer sentiment languished near 48.1, with households expecting 4.6% inflation over the next year. Investors are weighing rate-sensitive sectors against defensive plays as growth persists alongside inflation worries. MongoDB plunged 18.46% after CEO CJ Desai resigned to join Meta. Nu Holdings declined 10.01% on reports of potential Monzo acquisition talks. Roblox dropped 9.86% following a Jefferies downgrade to Underperform. Palo Alto Networks gained 4.63% after BTIG raised its price target. Traders await key data including core PCE on Wednesday and non-farm payrolls on Friday.
S&P Global has made credit ratings from S&P Global Ratings available through its AI Data Portal. The RatingsXpress dataset includes nearly 1 million issuer and security-level credit ratings, along with outlooks, CreditWatch status, and ratings actions. The data is accessible via Deterministic Retrieval for structured queries, with Adaptive Retrieval for more complex workflows expected in coming weeks. The portal supports natural language querying through major large language models including GPT, Gemini, and Claude. The integration aims to help credit teams assess risk and monitor portfolios more efficiently. Users can apply the data for credit risk analysis, investment analysis, portfolio monitoring, counterparty assessment, and due diligence. S&P Global Market Intelligence and S&P Global Ratings are separately managed divisions of S&P Global.
