S&P Global: A Quality Compounder Unfairly Punished By The Market

S&P Global is rated Buy after a 30% price drop, with AI disruption risks overstated. Market Intelligence faces moderate risk from AI, but SPGI's proprietary data protect Capital IQ Pro and high switching costs and clients' regulatory and compliance risks protect software products. Ratings and Indices face much lower AI risk. These wonderful businesses gush cash with minimal reinvestment required, and contribute the lion's share of operating income.
