S&P Global Inc
SPGI · US
Fair value as of: Aug 13, 2026
From 13 valuation models · updated today
Share price −3.7% over the past month.
A strong business, but screening 54% overvalued on our models.
What matters now
- A high-quality business (quality 81/100), yet the market already pays well above fair value. Quality at a full price, with little margin of safety.
- The price sits above even our optimistic bull case ($299.66). The favourable scenario is already priced in.
- A fairly wide model range ($135.35 to $299.66) leaves room in how you read the outcome.
- For a financial, book-value and earnings-based methods matter more than a cash-flow DCF, which fits banks and insurers poorly.

How to read this chart

Analysis
S&P Global Inc (SPGI) currently trades at $422.67, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $196.36, implying the stock looks roughly 53.5% overvalued today. The Quality Score stands at 81/100 (high quality), in the Financial Services sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: medium).
Over the trailing twelve months, S&P Global Inc generated revenue of $15.7B at a net margin of 30.4%. Revenue grew 10.4% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 13.9%. Net debt stands at $12.5B. Fundamentals as of Aug 13, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $135.35 (bear case) to $299.66 (bull case); at $422.67, the current price sits above that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 26% below its 52-week high and 11% above its 52-week low, currently below its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Financial Services peers we cover trades at -55% fair-value upside, at -54%, SPGI screens cheaper than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
All 13 models by family
Widest divergence: DCF Models ($216.69) versus Dividend Discount ($60.53). Highest evidence: Growth DCF (80).
