S&P Global

At the Barclays Global Financial Services Conference, S&P Global presented its strategy to accelerate revenue growth and expand margins, supported by cross‑selling, productivity gains and rising demand for data. Market Intelligence is driving growth, aided by increased AI interfaces, API usage and new sales structures for top clients, while AI monetization is still developing. The energy business grew more slowly than expected, but management expects a recovery in the second half of the year and is targeting mid‑term growth of 6–8%. S&P Global does not plan large acquisitions, prefers targeted small bolt‑on deals, divesting non‑core assets and expects continued margin expansion of 50–75 basis points. » Mais em de.investing.com

Kaiko provides market data, indices and data infrastructure for digital assets and serves more than 250 financial firms, institutions and regulators; financial details of the investment were not disclosed. The transaction follows Kaiko’s acquisitions of Amberdata and Cometh and complements S&P Global’s expansion in digital assets. » Mais em de.investing.com
