Here is what Aristotle Atlantic Partners has to say about S&P Global Inc. (NYSE:SPGI) in its Q2 2023 investor letter:

S&P Global provides financial information and analytics, including credit ratings, financial market benchmarks and workflow solutions. Originally McGraw-Hill Financial, the company changed its name in 2016. The company’s operations consist of five segments: ratings, commodity insights, indices, market intelligence and mobility.

We see S&P Global’s diversified business model as primarily subscription-based, which generates a sizeable recurring revenue stream and helps it navigate various market or macroeconomic environments. The company has a significant competitive advantage that provides substantial barriers to entry and sustainable competitive supremacy. We believe that technologyfocused strategic investments made over the past few years should help accelerate organic growth over the next few years, as the company continuously seeks to improve its existing offerings while striving to meet ever-evolving client needs.”
