S&P Global Lifts 2026 EPS View to $16.60 as Capital IQ Pro Adds Private Markets Data

Summary
S&P Global raised its 2026 outlook to 5.9%-7.9% GAAP revenue growth, diluted EPS of $16.35-$16.60 and 335-360 basis points of operating-margin expansion after reporting higher second-quarter 2026 revenue and earnings.
The company also expanded S&P Capital IQ Pro by integrating With Intelligence data and editorial content, extending coverage across the private investment lifecycle within a single platform.
That deeper private-markets offering follows S&P Global's 2025 acquisition of With Intelligence and is aimed at reducing clients' reliance on fragmented data sources while embedding more AI-enabled workflows.
The move could help balance S&P Global's continued exposure to issuance-driven Ratings revenue, though the company still faces execution risk if heavier AI and product spending fails to deliver the expected margin gains.
