Track SPGI free→S&P Global is growing revenue about 10% year over year, above its 6.3% to 8.3% target. Profit per share is rising steadily, with adjusted EPS expected near $19.5 in 2026. The company is completing its spin-off of the Mobility division, which simplifies operations and sharpens focus. Capital spending is disciplined, supporting growth without excess.
Revenue growth could slow below 6%, hurting earnings momentum. The spin-off may cause disruption or fail to unlock value. Rising competition and regulatory challenges could pressure margins and market share.
The stock trades about 33% above our fair value with analysts expecting flat revenue growth. Our view is more cautious on near-term growth and values the spin-off risks.
