Post-Earnings Selloff: Social media erupted following S&P Global's Q4 2025 earnings, where shares plunged over 13% pre-market due to lighter-than-expected 2026 guidance despite solid revenue growth. Participants highlighted the miss on EPS outlook trailing consensus, attributing the drop to investor sensitivity around guidance.
Dip Buying Momentum: Discussion shifted to valuation, with shares now at around 20-23x forward earnings, a rare discount versus historical premiums and the broader market. Notable investors like Chris Hohn reportedly added positions near higher levels, fueling talk of opportunity amid aggressive buybacks and recurring revenue streams nearing 96%.
Peer Strength and AI Tailwinds: Positive spillover from Moody's strong results lifted SPGI shares, with users drawing parallels in ratings businesses and dismissing AI as a threat rather than enhancer. Insider purchases and moat discussions underscore resilient demand for proprietary data and benchmarks.
