S&P Global's Q3 test: AI API growth and $11T refinancing wave face slower renewals

S&P Global reports third-quarter results on October 27, its first full quarter as a four-division company after completing the Mobility spin-off on July 1. Investors will watch whether its AI push turns into revenue. Last quarter, revenue reached $4.146B. Ratings grew 17% and Indices 20%, but Market Intelligence rose only 6%. Larger customers are delaying renewals while they negotiate AI use and IP protection. Customers on LLM-ready APIs topped 500, up more than 70% from the prior quarter. Management expects about $11 trillion of rated debt to need refinancing over the next 4.5 years, which should support Ratings. Full-year adjusted EPS guidance is $17.50 to $17.75. The company raised its 2026 buyback target to more than $7 billion.
