On September 2, S&P Global rose 3.21% in regular trading, trading at $450.395/share, with turnover of $512 million. The rally was driven by reports that the company is considering a multibillion-dollar spinout of its Capital IQ Pro data platform.
According to a Bloomberg report, S&P Global is mulling a separation of Capital IQ Pro, a core component of its Market Intelligence segment that provides multi-asset-class data, analytics, and workflow solutions. The potential spinout would value the platform at multiple billions of dollars, signaling a strategic portfolio reshaping effort. Notably, shares had earlier traded lower on the session following the completion of two other transactions — the acquisition of datacenterHawk, a data center intelligence provider now integrated into S&P Global Energy, and the sale of its geoscience and petroleum engineering software portfolio to SLB. The company also confirmed the rollout of Titan, an AI-powered upstream data platform. The Capital IQ spinout news reversed the earlier weakness and propelled shares sharply higher, reflecting investor optimism about potential value unlocking.
