S&P Global stock has a fresh target reset after MarketBeat reported on October 9, 2026 that Morgan Stanley cut its price target from USD 525.00 to USD 477.00 while keeping an Overweight rating. The report places the target decision beside a company that delivered USD 4.15 billion in second-quarter 2026 revenue, up 10.40 percent year over year.

Three dated milestones shape the stock

On July 28, 2026, S&P Global reported second-quarter revenue of USD 4.15 billion, net income attributable to the company of USD 1.22 billion and diluted earnings per share of USD 4.12, according to Ticker Scout. Revenue increased 10.40 percent from USD 3.75 billion a year earlier, while diluted earnings per share rose 17.70 percent from USD 3.50.

On September 29, 2026, S&P Global declared a fourth-quarter dividend of USD 0.97 per share, payable on December 10, 2026, according to Finanznachrichten. On October 9, 2026, the company named Thomas Kim chief legal officer effective October 19, 2026, with Steve Kemps set to retire at year-end, Trivano reported.

What does the next report add?

The next scheduled test is October 27, 2026. S&P Global said in its release dated September 29, 2026 that third-quarter results would be issued at approximately 7:15 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time, followed by an 8:30 a.m. call, according to S&P Global. The timing matters because the second-quarter figures still included Mobility, while the company separated Mobility Global on July 1, 2026.

For investors, the comparison is therefore not limited to whether revenue repeats the USD 4.15 billion second-quarter level. The October report will also show how the four remaining operating segments perform after the separation and whether the Ratings segment can build on its USD 1.29 billion of second-quarter external revenue, up 17.00 percent year over year.
