S&P Global stock was trading at USD 398.52 on the NYSE on October 6, 2026, up 1.94 percent from the prior close of USD 390.92. The company is due to report third-quarter results on October 27, while its second-quarter figures showed revenue growth but a slightly tighter earnings comparison.
October 27 sets the next checkpoint
According to S&P Global in its September 29, 2026 release, the Q3 2026 results will be issued on October 27 at approximately 7:15 a.m. ET. Management will discuss the figures during a conference call at 8:30 a.m. ET.
The date matters because the latest quarter included the Mobility spin-off, which complicates direct comparisons between reported and pro forma figures. The next release should give investors a clearer update on the companys post-spin operating profile.
Revenue beats while targets move lower
For Q2 2026, S&P Global reported USD 4.15 billion in revenue, up 10.4 percent year over year, and adjusted EPS of USD 4.83. According to MarketBeat, adjusted EPS exceeded the USD 4.81 consensus by USD 0.02, while revenue topped the USD 4.09 billion estimate by USD 0.06 billion.
The companys fiscal 2026 adjusted EPS guidance stands at USD 17.500-17.750, according to MarketBeat. That range puts the October 27 report at the center of the valuation debate, particularly after an analyst target reduction.
Consensus target remains above the stock
On October 5, 2026, Mizuho lowered its S&P Global price target to USD 531 from USD 554 and maintained an Outperform rating, as Investing.com reported. The revised target still lies 33.3 percent above the October 6 price.
The Wall Street Journal lists a Buy consensus from 28 analysts, with an average 12-month target of USD 519.05, a high of USD 553.00 and a low of USD 485.00. The average target lies 30.2 percent above the October 6 price.
Stock trades below its yearly high
S&P Global stock was trading between USD 392.60 and USD 398.88 during the October 6 session. Its 52-week range was USD 361.03 to USD 552.25, leaving the current price 27.8 percent below the yearly high while the market capitalization stood at USD 117.5 billion.
