S&P Global - Analysts' Recommendations and Stock Price Forecast (2025)

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. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). 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.

Should I Buy S&P Global Stock? SPGI Pros and Cons Explained

These pros and cons were generated based on recent news and financial data from MarketBeat in order to provide readers with the fastest and most accurate insights. They were last updated on Thursday, December 12, 2024. Please send any questions or comments about these S&P Global pros and cons to contact@marketbeat.com.

S&P Global
Bull Case

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in S&P Global Inc.:

Recent earnings performance has been strong, with S&P Global Inc. reporting $3.89 earnings per share, exceeding analysts' expectations of $3.64, indicating robust financial health.
The company has shown significant revenue growth, with a year-over-year increase of 15.9%, reaching $3.58 billion, which reflects its strong market position and demand for its services.
Analysts have a positive outlook, with a consensus price target of $571.31 and twelve analysts rating the stock as a buy, suggesting confidence in the company's future performance.
S&P Global Inc. has a solid dividend yield of 0.71%, with a quarterly dividend of $0.91, providing a steady income stream for investors.
The current stock price is $512.15, which is relatively stable compared to its one-year high of $533.29, indicating potential for growth as market conditions improve.

S&P Global
Bear Case

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

The stock has a high P/E ratio of 45.20, which may indicate that it is overvalued compared to its earnings, potentially leading to a price correction.
Despite strong revenue growth, the company has a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.33, which, while manageable, suggests that it is using some leverage that could pose risks in a downturn.
Market volatility could impact S&P Global Inc.'s stock performance, as seen with fluctuations in trading volumes, which can lead to unpredictable price movements.
With institutional investors owning 87.17% of the company's stock, there may be limited room for retail investors to influence stock performance.
Recent analyst upgrades may lead to heightened expectations, and if the company fails to meet these, it could result in a negative market reaction.

Why I'm telling friends to avoid gold stocks (Ad)

Back in November, gold made a tiny move of 1.6%. But according to my backtesting by using a special type of gold trade, I would have seen a 141% gain in just a week. It happened again in March. Gold nudged up 1.2%. This time? A 104% overnight gain. And in June? A 1% gold move turned into a 74% gain in two weeks. Granted, there would have been smaller wins and those that did not work out, but you see, there's a reason I'm telling all my friends to hold off from buying gold or regular gold stocks right now. There's a more lucrative way to play the gold market as we enter a new breakout period. It's all about catching what I call "Acceleration Cycles."

And if you’d like to get your hands on this, here you go, the complete breakdown.
