What S&P Global does
The company creates value by collecting, standardising, analysing and distributing proprietary and workflow-critical datasets to professional users. It monetises this through recurring subscriptions, enterprise licences and data access arrangements, with additional expansion driven by bundling adjacent datasets, premium analytics, real-time feeds and sector-specific workflow tools.
Category differentiation

Nvidia boosts buyback by $150 billion

The stock trades at a decade-low forward P/E of 14.5 for fiscal 2028, with analysts viewing the buyback as a signal of undervaluation.
