- S&P Global raised its 2026 adjusted earnings and organic revenue-growth outlook after third-quarter performance exceeded expectations.
- The Capital IQ review could reshape the Market Intelligence portfolio while key ratings and enterprise businesses are expected to remain with S&P Global.
- Indices and Market Intelligence led quarterly growth, supported by stronger asset-linked fees and demand for data solutions.
S&P Global stock traded at 417.70 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 18:02 CET on Friday, October 30, 2026. The current quote is 1.85 percent above the 410.10-euro quote cited in the previous report published on October 29; this report-to-report comparison is separate from the daily exchange comparison.
Quarterly growth lifts guidance
S&P Global reported third-quarter revenue of USD 3.68 billion and adjusted earnings of USD 4.58 per share on October 27, 2026. Zacks Equity Research said revenue and earnings exceeded consensus estimates, with Indices and Market Intelligence driving the result.
Management raised 2026 adjusted diluted EPS guidance to USD 17.70-17.95 from USD 17.50-17.75. Organic constant-currency revenue growth is now expected at 7.5-8.5 percent, while adjusted operating margin expansion is projected at 75-100 basis points.
Capital IQ review adds a portfolio question
S&P Global opened a strategic review of Capital IQ and related data businesses, including a potential separation. The company said the review covers most of Kensho Data & Platforms within Market Intelligence, while RatingsDirect, RatingsXpress and Enterprise Solutions are expected to remain part of the group.
The review has no stated timetable and does not guarantee a transaction. For investors, the central issue is whether a separation could sharpen capital allocation without weakening links between the reviewed data operations and S&P Global's retained franchises.
