S&P Global Weighs Capital IQ Pro Spin-Off at Potential $7–9 Billion Valuation

šŸ“Š S&P Global is in the early stages of considering a spin-off of Capital IQ Pro, with one option involving a separate public listing. Bloomberg cited people familiar with the matter, while S&P has not officially confirmed the plan.

šŸ’° The potential valuation discussed is around $7–9 billion. Capital IQ Pro is part of the Market Intelligence business and provides data on more than 60 million private companies, though the review remains preliminary and may not lead to a transaction.

šŸ“ˆ SPGI shares briefly rose about 3–4% after the report before closing 1% higher at $440.21, suggesting a positive but cautious market reaction.

šŸ¤– The report is notable as S&P has continued investing in CapIQ, private-market data and AI tools, while also completing the spin-off of its Mobility business in July.
