- S&P Global is reviewing Capital IQ and associated data businesses, with a potential separation under consideration.
- The company expects to retain RatingsDirect, RatingsXpress and Enterprise Solutions.
- The February earnings call is the next expected checkpoint for an update on the review.
S&P Global announced a strategic review of Capital IQ and associated data businesses alongside its third-quarter results on October 27, 2026, according to the S&P Global release. The review puts the future portfolio structure of the data business at the center of the investment case.
S&P Global stock traded at 430.50 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 5:38 p.m. CET on Wednesday, November 4, 2026. That was 3.44 percent above the 416.20-euro quote at 12:22 p.m. CET on Monday, November 2, cited in the previous report.
Capital IQ remains under review
The review covers Capital IQ and associated data businesses, including most of Kensho Data and Platforms within Market Intelligence. S&P Global expects RatingsDirect, RatingsXpress and Enterprise Solutions to remain within the group.
A potential separation is one option under consideration, but management has not set a timetable or indicated that a transaction will occur. The review therefore adds a portfolio-allocation question to the company's operating outlook rather than providing a completed corporate action.
February is the next checkpoint
The next expected meaningful update is the February earnings call. Investors will be watching whether management provides more detail on the scope of the review, the ownership alternatives and the commercial links between the businesses under review and S&P Global's retained franchises.
