S&P Global Q4 Earnings and 2026 Guidance Disappoint

S&P Global's Q4 2025 performance showcased growth across multiple segments, including market intelligence, ratings, commodity insights, mobility, and indices. The company benefited from high demand for data, favorable market conditions for refinancing, and robust asset-linked fees. However, the disappointing 2026 guidance overshadowed these positive results. The market intelligence segment saw growth due to revenue transformation and AI-powered features. The ratings segment was fueled by strength in high-yield and structured finance. The consensus estimate for commodity insights revenues is set at $573 million, up 5.1% year over year. High demand for data and price assessment, and customer pivot to enterprise contract relationships facilitated this segment’s growth. Mobility revenues are expected to reach $445 million, an 8.3% increase year-over-year, driven by CARAX and automotiveMastermind. Revenues from the indices segment are projected to improve 9.4% year-over-year, reaching $477 million, benefiting from high AUM and net inflows.
