S&P Global (ISIN US78409V1044) received a lower Morgan Stanley price target of USD 477.00, down from USD 525.00, on October 7, 2026, while the bank retained its Overweight rating, according to Markets Insider. At Lang & Schwarz, the stock was EUR 369.70 in trading on October 13, 2026 at 11:27 a.m. CEST.
Three events set the backdrop
On July 28, 2026, S&P Global reported USD 4.15 billion in second-quarter revenue, up 10.40 percent year over year, according to Ticker Scout. The same quarter produced USD 1.22 billion in net income attributable to S&P Global and diluted earnings per share of USD 4.12, up 13.50 percent from the prior year.
On September 29, 2026, S&P Global approved a fourth-quarter dividend of USD 0.97 per share, payable on December 10, 2026, to shareholders of record on November 25, 2026, according to PR Newswire. On October 7, 2026, Morgan Stanley cut its target to USD 477.00 from USD 525.00 while keeping Overweight.
What does the target cut change
The target revision puts the analyst debate beside a quarter with double-digit growth. S&P Global's second-quarter Ratings revenue reached USD 1.29 billion, up 17.00 percent year over year, while Indices revenue rose to USD 531.00 million from USD 443.00 million, according to Ticker Scout.
Morgan Stanley's stated counter-factor was weaker third-quarter issuance after strong rate increases and difficult comparisons. That makes the October earnings release important because the company will report after the second quarter that still included Mobility, whose separation took effect on July 1, 2026.
Dates investors can measure
S&P Global's next two dated company events are the October 19, 2026 start date for Chief Legal Officer Thomas Kim and the October 27, 2026 release of third-quarter results. The appointment was announced on October 9, 2026, according to Morningstar, while the earnings date was scheduled in S&P Global's investor release on September 29, 2026, according to S&P Global.
