S&P Global's third-quarter results, reported 27 October, showed revenue growth accelerating in indices, energy, and market intelligence, with 60 basis points of margin expansion, benchmark revenue up 7% and total recurring revenue up 8% enterprise-wide. The company repurchased $4 billion in shares year-to-date, targeting $7+ billion by year-end, and reported EPS of 4.58 against an estimate of 4.43, with a -0.3% reaction. Following the results, the company entered a strategic review of its Capital IQ and associated data businesses, examining the portfolio structure of the Market Intelligence segment, while also raising its 2026 earnings outlook and citing accelerating AI adoption. Separately, S&P Global Ratings expanded a collaboration with Chainlink to bring vault risk assessments onchain, and the October US Services PMI from S&P Global showed service-sector output rising for a seventh consecutive month with a net increase in payrolls.

The stock closed at $481.69, up 3.4%, sitting above both its 50-day ($423.99) and 200-day ($429.27) averages, with one-month returns of 21.6% and three-month returns of 18.9%. The GekkoIndex reads 43.2, placing the stock in the Distribution zone, while price sits 3.8% above Gekko Fair Value of $463.87.
