Summary
S&P Global reported third-quarter 2026 revenue of $3.678 billion, up 7% year over year, with GAAP diluted earnings per share up 26% to $4.45, and said it has begun a strategic review of alternatives, including a potential separation, for Capital IQ and associated data businesses. CEO Martina Cheung said the businesses under review are well positioned and that separate ownership could give them dedicated investment and focus; the company said there is no specific timeframe for the review and no assurance it will result in a transaction.
