    ---

    **ALEX**: Welcome to Beta Finch, your AI-powered earnings breakdown! I'm Alex, and I'm here with my co-host Jordan to dive into S&P Global's first quarter 2026 results. This one's particularly interesting given the backdrop of geopolitical tensions and the company's aggressive AI push.

    Jordan, S&P Global just reported some pretty solid numbers despite what CEO Martina Cheung called an "incredibly volatile and dynamic operating environment." Walk us through the headline numbers.

    **JORDAN**: Absolutely, Alex. These results really showcase the resilience of S&P Global's business model. They posted 10% revenue growth year-over-year, with 9% organic constant currency growth. What really caught my eye was the 14% jump in adjusted diluted EPS and 140 basis points of margin expansion on a trailing twelve-month basis. That's impressive operating leverage.

    **ALEX**: And they returned a billion dollars to shareholders through share repurchases alone, on top of dividends. But let's talk about the elephant in the room - this Iranian conflict that's been disrupting energy markets. How did that impact their different divisions?

    **JORDAN**: Great question. The conflict created this interesting tale of two cities within S&P Global. On one hand, their Energy division faced direct headwinds - they actually lowered their full-year guidance for that segment by a full percentage point to 4.5% to 6% organic growth. CEO Cheung mentioned that some Middle Eastern energy customers had facilities directly impacted, and supply chain disruptions are expected to persist through the second quarter.

    But here's what's fascinating - this volatility actually benefited other parts of the business. Their Ratings division saw 13% revenue growth, partly driven by what they called "hyperscaler" issuance - basically big tech companies issuing debt for AI infrastructure investments.

    **ALEX**: That's a perfect segue into what I think is the real story here - S&P Global's AI transformation. Jordan, they're not just talking about using AI internally; they're fundamentally changing how customers access their data. Can you break down this strategy?

    **JORDAN**: This is where it gets really interesting, Alex. S&P Global is essentially becoming an AI-native data company. They're making their data accessible through what they call "model context protocol" - basically allowing customers to use S&P data directly within AI platforms like Claude and ChatGPT.

    The numbers they shared are eye-popping. API call volumes were 5x higher in Q1 versus just one quarter earlier, and doubled month-over-month from February to March alone. They now have over 300 customers either contracted or in trial periods for their AI-ready APIs.

    **ALEX**: And they're seeing real pricing power from this AI integration, right?

    **JORDAN**: Exactly. This is where the monetization story gets compelling. During the quarter, two financial clients opted to pay 35% to 45% premium increases just to get their data in AI-ready formats. CFO Eric Aboaf mentioned that customers using their AI solutions are showing much higher growth rates - 30% higher in Market Intelligence and double the growth rate in Energy compared to non-AI customers.

    One example really stood out to me: they had a buy-side client working with their Kensho AI team who liked their AI plugin so much that they canceled their existing provider and switched to S&P Global, even though it was 20% more expensive.

    **ALEX**: Let's talk about the guidance. They maintained most of their full-year outlook despite the geopolitical headwinds. What should investors expect for the rest of 2026?

    **JORDAN**: S&P Global is sti

    **Beta Finch Podcast Script: S&P Global Q4 2025 Earnings**

    ---

    **ALEX**: Welcome to Beta Finch, your AI-powered earnings breakdown. I'm Alex.

    **JORDAN**: And I'm Jordan. Today we're diving into S&P Global's Q4 2025 earnings call - and wow, what a year it's been for this financial data giant.

    **ALEX**: Before we jump in, I need to share our standard disclaimer: This podcast is AI-generated content for educational and entertainment purposes only. Nothing we discuss should be considered investment advice. Always do your own research and consult a qualified financial advisor before making any investment decisions.

    **JORDAN**: Absolutely. Now Alex, S&P Global really delivered some impressive numbers here. Let's start with the headline figures.

    **ALEX**: They certainly did. Revenue grew 9% reported, 8% organic constant currency for Q4. For the full year, they hit the high end of their original guidance on revenue growth, margins, AND earnings per share. EPS grew 14% for the year, and get this - they returned 113% of adjusted free cash flow to shareholders.

    **JORDAN**: That's a massive cash return. And speaking of returns, they just announced their 53rd consecutive year of dividend increases. Plus they repurchased over $5 billion in stock during 2025. But what really caught my attention was how CEO Martina Cheung framed their strategic vision.

    **ALEX**: Right, she kept coming back to this concept of "advancing essential intelligence." Over 95% of their revenue is tied to proprietary benchmarks, differentiated data, and critical workflow tools. And Jordan, they expect that percentage to increase over time.

    **JORDAN**: That's a key point because it speaks to their competitive moat, especially with all the AI disruption happening. Speaking of which, they made some fascinating comments about AI being a "net tailwind" for their business. They've launched AI products in every division and are seeing real customer adoption.

    **ALEX**: The AI discussion was particularly interesting during the Q&A. With all the recent announcements from companies like Anthropic about financial services plugins, investors were clearly concerned about potential disruption to S&P's workflow products.

    **JORDAN**: Martina's response was pretty compelling though. She emphasized that their workflow tools aren't just simple apps - they're enterprise-grade solutions that have been refined over years. Products like iLEVEL and Capital IQ Pro integrate deeply into regulated environments and provide mission-critical functionality that can't easily be replicated.

    **ALEX**: And she mentioned something that I found particularly telling - customers are telling them they want fewer vendors, not more. They want S&P to embed the latest AI technology directly into their existing platforms rather than having to work with multiple providers.

    **JORDAN**: Exactly. And they're seeing tangible results from their AI investments. For example, they deployed an automated data ingestion tool on iLEVEL, and within six months, nearly 20% of customers opted for that add-on feature. That's real revenue generation from AI enhancements.

    **ALEX**: Now let's talk about their 2026 outlook because this is where things get really interesting for investors. They're guiding for 6% to 8% organic constant currency revenue growth, continued margin expansion, and 9% to 10% EPS growth.

    **JORDAN**: But here's what's fascinating - they're being quite prudent about their market-driven businesses. For their Ratings division, they're expecting "Billed Issuance" - basically the debt they rate - to grow only low to mid-single digits. That's despite some pretty favorable conditions.

    **ALEX**: Right, and CFO Eric Aboaf walked through their assumptions. They're expecting most 2026 debt refinancing to happen this year, but they're not counting on massive pull-forward from 2027 and 2028. They're also being conservative about M&A activity and hyperscale infrastructure spending, even though there's a lot of
