Geographic presence
S&P Global reports revenue across four broad geographic regions: the United States, European region, Asia, and rest of world. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, revenue was $5.154 billion from the United States (about 61.9% of total), $1.848 billion from the European region (22.2%), $870 million from Asia (10.5%), and $446 million from the rest of the world (5.4%).[23]
For full-year 2025, revenue was $9.322 billion in the United States (61% of total), $3.531 billion in the European region (23%), $1.640 billion in Asia (11%), and $843 million in the rest of the world (5%). The company reports revenue by these broad regions rather than providing a country-by-country breakdown. At year-end 2025, long-lived assets were distributed 55% in the United States, 18% in the European region, 23% in Asia, and 4% in the rest of the world.[24][25]
The company says it has more than 70 offices in 35 countries. Its principal executive office is at 55 Water Street in New York City, and it announced a regional headquarters in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in 2025. S&P Global reported approximately 44,500 permanent employees worldwide as of December 31, 2025; the cited materials do not provide an employee breakdown by country or region.[26][27][28][11] [23][24][25][27][26][28][11]
Business segments
S&P Global reports five business segments: Market Intelligence, which provides data, valuation services, analytics, research and software platforms; Ratings, which provides credit ratings, research and analytics; Energy, which supplies energy-market data, price assessments, analysis and software; Mobility, which provides automotive data, forecasts, analytics and related services; and Indices, which supplies index data, portfolio analytics and research.[29][30]
For 2025, segment revenue from external customers was $4,902 million for Market Intelligence (about 32.0% of consolidated revenue), $4,549 million for Ratings (29.7%), $2,299 million for Energy (15.0%), $1,747 million for Mobility (11.4%) and $1,839 million for Indices (12.0%). Percentages are calculated against consolidated revenue of $15,336 million; figures may not sum precisely due to rounding.[22]
The company sold Engineering Solutions effective May 2, 2023; it is not among the five ongoing businesses, though comparative segment reporting retains a column for it.[31][22] [29][30][22][31]
Company history
S&P Global’s corporate history draws on several predecessor businesses: James H. McGraw began the McGraw publishing lineage in 1888, Standard Statistics was founded by Luther Lee Blake in 1906, and Poor’s publishing business traces to Henry Varnum Poor’s 1860 railroad history. Standard Statistics and Poor’s Publishing merged in 1941 to form Standard & Poor’s; the S&P 500 was introduced in 1957, and Standard & Poor’s became part of The McGraw-Hill Companies in 1966.[32][33]
McGraw-Hill and CME Group launched S&P Dow Jones Indices as a joint venture in 2012. After selling its education business in 2013, the remaining company adopted the name McGraw Hill Financial; it became S&P Global Inc. in 2016. S&P Global agreed to merge with IHS Markit in 2020 and completed the merger in 2022. In 2026, it separated Mobility Global, which became an independent public company.[34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41] [41][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40]
