S&P Global - Analysts' Recommendations and Stock Price Forecast (2024)

MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts.

MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

S&P Global
Bear Case

Investors should be bearish about investing in S&P Global Inc. for these reasons:

Recent insider selling activities may raise concerns about potential internal issues or lack of long-term growth prospects.
The stock's price-to-earnings ratio of 57.71 and price-to-earnings-growth ratio of 2.91 may indicate overvaluation, posing a risk for investors.
While the company has a strong market cap of $161.02 billion, a beta of 1.17 suggests higher volatility compared to the market average.
Debt-to-equity ratio of 0.33 may indicate a moderate level of financial leverage, which could impact the company's financial stability in uncertain economic conditions.
Despite positive analyst ratings, the stock's average target price of $556.58 may already be factored into the current valuation, limiting potential upside for investors.
