What happened

S&P Global reported third-quarter revenue of $3.68 billion on October 27, 2026. The same day, it said it is reviewing options, including a possible separation, for Capital IQ and related data businesses. It also said it expects to keep RatingsDirect, RatingsXpress and its Enterprise Solutions offerings.

Global impact / market context

A review means the company may change how it is organized, which can affect what it owns and how it earns money. For ordinary investors, that can change the risk and value of holding the stock. Very little is decided yet, so the practical effect now is uncertainty rather than a clear outcome.

What to watch

  1. What the review decides: check whether S&P Global announces a separation, a sale, or keeping Capital IQ. This matters because it changes what the company owns and how it makes money.
  2. Details beyond revenue: only the $3.68 billion third-quarter revenue figure was given. Check later materials for profit, costs, and how the businesses are performing, since revenue alone does not show how healthy the company is.
  3. What happens to Kensho: the company said businesses make up the majority of Kensho Data & Platforms within Market Intelligence. Check whether the review covers or affects this, because it is tied to the businesses being reviewed.
