of 100 · stored research reading
Stored Quality research reads 67 of 100, an above-average reading in the covered universe. Some underlying measurements are stronger than others.
Quality research measures durability of the business itself from stored fundamentals: balance-sheet strength, profitability consistency and cash generation. It is a research reading, not a prediction of future returns.

In the company’s own words
S&P Global Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, "S&P Global," the "Company," the "Registrant," "we," "us" or "our") is a global, diversified, and highly differentiated provider of benchmarks, data, analytics and workflow solutions in the global capital, energy and commodity, and automotive markets. The capital markets include asset managers, investment banks, commercial banks, insurance companies, exchanges, trading firms and issuers; the energy and commodity markets include producers, consumers, traders and intermediaries within energy, chemicals, shipping, metals, carbon and agriculture; and the automotive markets include manufacturers, suppliers, dealerships, service shops and customers. We serve our global customers through a broad range of products and services available through both third-party and proprietary distribution channels. We were incorporated in December of 1925 under the laws of the state of New York.
Our operations consist of five businesses: S&P Global Market Intelligence ("Market Intelligence"), S&P Global Ratings ("Ratings"), S&P Global Energy ("Energy"), S&P Global Mobility ("Mobility") and S&P Dow Jones Indices ("Indices"). As of May 2, 2023, we completed the sale of S&P Global Engineering Solutions ("Engineering Solutions"), a provider of engineering standards and related technical knowledge, and the results are included through that date. For a discussion on the competitive conditions and regulatory environment associated with our businesses, see "MD&A – Segment Review" contained in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations , in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
On April 29, 2025, we announced that our Board of Directors decided to pursue a full separation of our Mobility segment, creating a new publicly traded company. The transaction, which would be implemented through the spin-off of shares of the new company to S&P Global shareholders, is expected to be tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes for S&P Global shareholders and is expected to be completed mid-2026, subject to the satisfaction of customary legal and regulatory requirements and approvals.
