S&P Global invests in SSImple to automate settlement instruction management

S&P Global has made a strategic investment in SSImple, a fintech firm specialising in Standing Settlement Instructions (SSI) management. The partnership aims to modernise the handling of SSIs, which are critical for post-trade settlement but often rely on fragmented, manual processes. The collaboration comes as markets transition to shorter settlement cycles. The US has already moved to T+1 settlement, whilst the UK and EU are shifting to T+1 in October 2027. Shorter cycles reduce time for resolving exceptions, increasing the need for accurate, automated data. Together, the firms have developed SSI Automate, combining SSImple's SSI expertise with S&P Global's market connectivity and workflow capabilities. The solution aims to improve data quality, reduce manual intervention, and support straight-through processing across post-trade operations.

S&P 500 dips as NVIDIA beats forecasts with $96B revenue and core PCE holds at 3.3%

The S&P 500 edged lower despite strong results from NVIDIA and steady core inflation data. NVIDIA reported revenue of $96.2 billion, surpassing the $92 billion consensus, with earnings per share of $2.22 beating the $2.09 estimate. Revenue rose 106% year-over-year. The index closed nearly flat at 7,675.70 points before NVIDIA's report. Core personal consumption expenditures rose 0.2% monthly and 3.3% annually in July, matching economists' expectations. NVIDIA shares fell 1.59% during regular trading to $209.66 but jumped 4.32% to $218.72 in after-hours trading. Hyperscaler revenue more than doubled to $48.7 billion, whilst the AI cloud, industrial, and enterprise segment added $40.3 billion, up 138%. NVIDIA carries the largest weight in the S&P 500, making its quarterly results particularly consequential for the index.

S&P 500 dividend yield hits record low of 1% as megacap tech stocks dominate index

The S&P 500's dividend yield has fallen to a record low of just above 1%, according to Charlie Bilello, chief market strategist at Creative Planning. Whilst dividend payouts haven't decreased, stock prices have risen much faster, particularly amongst megacap technology companies that pay little or nothing in dividends. The shift is forcing retirees to adapt their strategies. Steven Yedlin, a 75-year-old retired doctor, has stopped automatically reinvesting dividends and now directs them to high-yield money-market funds instead. Recent dividend suspensions at Papa John's and UWM Holdings highlight the risks. Papa John's scrapped its quarterly payout following an 8.8% revenue decline to $482.4 million, choosing to redirect funds toward franchise incentives and technology improvements instead.

S&P 500 earnings surge 31% as companies deliver strongest growth in 50 years outside recession

Wolfe Research reports strong second-quarter earnings momentum for S&P 500 companies, with 69% of the 465 firms that had reported by Wednesday beating revenue forecasts. The dollar-weighted revenue surprise reached 3.8%. Corporate guidance for the third quarter shows unusual confidence, with 64% of the 86 companies providing guidance offering midpoints above consensus—the highest proportion since the COVID period. The firm expects S&P 500 operating earnings per share to grow 31% in 2026, or approximately 27% when adjusted for one-time gains from mega-cap technology companies. Wolfe characterises this as the strongest fundamental environment outside a post-recession recovery in over 50 years. Sustainability of growth into 2027 remains uncertain, particularly given heavy capital expenditure on artificial intelligence.

Wall Street bullish on Expand Energy, sceptical on S&P Global and MSCI

Expand Energy stands out among three companies popular with Wall Street analysts, according to StockStory's independent analysis. The natural gas and oil producer, formerly Chesapeake Energy, achieved 19.4% annual revenue growth over five years. Its $12.66 billion revenue base provides strong negotiating leverage with suppliers. The company also improved its EBITDA profits and efficiency during this period. In contrast, analysts may be overlooking risks at S&P Global and MSCI, despite bullish consensus price targets suggesting upside of 23.9% and 22.3% respectively. S&P Global's earnings per share growth of 8.5% annually lagged behind revenue gains over the past five years. MSCI shows negative return on equity, indicating management lost money attempting to expand the business. The analysis notes that analysts rarely issue sell ratings, partly because their firms often seek business from covered companies.
