S&P Global provides financial information and analytics to investors, corporations, and governments. Its offerings include credit ratings, market intelligence, and indices, delivered through subscription models, licensing, and transaction-based services. The company’s products combine ratings assessments, data-driven research, and benchmark indices to help clients assess risk, evaluate markets, and make informed decisions. Unlike firms that specialize in a single domain, S&P Global combines multiple core businesses—Ratings, Market Intelligence, Dow Jones Indices, and Platts—into an integrated platform that delivers comprehensive insights across credits, markets, energy, and ESG data. The company’s goal is to enable better decision-making, risk management, and growth for its clients while upholding corporate responsibility and sustainable practices.

Corporate America delivered exceptional profit growth in the second quarter, with S&P 500 earnings on pace to rise 50% year over year — the fastest growth since Q2 2021, according to FactSet. With 88% of S&P 500 companies having reported, 86% exceeded earnings per share estimates, the highest percentage since Q2 2021. In aggregate, companies are reporting earnings 29.2% above estimates, marking the highest earnings surprise since FactSet began tracking the metric in 2008. Big Tech investments boosted results, with Amazon's second quarter including a $53.4 billion gain in other income, primarily from investments in Anthropic. The strong performance comes despite higher oil prices and significant AI investments, demonstrating corporate resilience.
S&P Global has expanded its S&P Capital IQ Pro platform by integrating With Intelligence's private markets data and editorial insights, following its 2025 acquisition. The integration enables users to manage the full private investment lifecycle within one platform using AI-enabled workflows. The company reported higher second-quarter 2026 revenue and earnings, updating its full-year 2026 guidance. S&P Global now expects GAAP revenue growth of 5.9% to 7.9%, GAAP diluted earnings per share of $16.35 to $16.60, and operating margin expansion of 335 to 360 basis points. The company's narrative projects $17.2 billion revenue and $6.0 billion earnings by 2029, requiring 2.9% yearly revenue growth. Fair value estimates from the Simply Wall St Community range from $380 to $528.51, compared to the current share price.
S&P Global's stock is down about 16% this year as of 5 August, marking its second negative year since spinning off from McGraw Hill in 2016. The decline accelerated after the Federal Reserve's latest meeting, where three members favoured a rate hike despite keeping rates steady. Higher interest rates typically reduce corporate borrowing and debt issuance, which could hurt S&P Global's ratings business revenue. However, the company reported solid second-quarter earnings on 28 July, with revenue up 10% year-over-year and earnings climbing 18% to $4.12 per share. Both ratings and indexes divisions achieved record quarterly revenue. The company recently spun off its Mobility business on 1 July to focus on its four main divisions: ratings, indexes, market intelligence, and energy consulting.
Li Lu's Himalaya Capital has cut its Bank of America stake by 71% and redeployed funds into Moody's and S&P Global, the ratings duopoly. The firm bought approximately $51.4 million in Moody's and $51.7 million in S&P Global, alongside a position in MSCI. Li Lu is the only outside manager Charlie Munger trusted with his family's money. The strategic shift moves capital from a traditional bank exposed to interest-rate risk into companies that collect fees on debt issuances without holding credit risk. Moody's posted 15.1% revenue growth in Q2 with a 55.3% adjusted operating margin, whilst its ratings unit achieved a 68.3% operating margin. S&P Global's Ratings segment grew 17% with a 68% pro forma operating margin. MSCI's Index segment expanded 17.5%, with ETF assets reaching a record $2.82 trillion.
US stock futures climbed in overnight trading Tuesday, with Dow futures up 0.35%, S&P 500 futures gaining 0.31%, and Nasdaq-100 futures rising about 0.3%. The gains followed record closes for the Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 on Monday. Strong corporate earnings drove investor sentiment, with over 80% of reporting companies beating expectations. Caterpillar climbed nearly 6% after strong quarterly results, whilst Palantir Technologies surged nearly 30% following a 93% revenue increase. Ed Yardeni of Yardeni Research told CNBC his year-end S&P 500 target of 8,250 now appears conservative, with the index just 6.5% away. Perceived easing of tensions in the Strait of Hormuz also supported markets, as US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent indicated an agreement to reopen the shipping route could be reached by midweek.
