S&P Global CEO Purchases Billions in Company Stock

On May 1, Catherine R. Clay, CEO of S&P Dow Jones Indices, purchased 2,500 shares of S&P Global Inc. (SPGI) common stock in the open market for approximately $1.08 million (about ₩1.5 billion), increasing her direct holdings to 2,500 shares.

The related Form 4 reiterated the previously disclosed March 2026 RSU grant but did not report any new RSU vesting or additional awards.

In its April 28 first-quarter results, S&P Global reported revenue of $4.171 billion (roughly mid-₩50 trillion) and net income of $1.395 billion (around ₩20 trillion), up 10% and 28% year-over-year, respectively. The company also announced a $1 billion (about ₩1.4 trillion) share-repurchase program, modestly revised its full-year 2026 revenue growth guidance to reflect currency-translation headwinds, and filed a Form 10 with the SEC to spin off its Mobility segment as a separately listed company, Mobility Global Inc., targeting completion in mid-2026.

Recently, S&P Global’s Energy division unveiled a new price-benchmark initiative to broaden its assessments of cement, clinker and supplementary cementitious materials in response to global construction and decarbonization demand.

On April 24, the company signed an agreement to sell its upstream energy geoscience and petroleum-engineering software portfolio to global energy-tech firm SLB, furthering the divestiture of non-core assets and portfolio realignment.

Headquartered in New York, S&P Global is a leading financial information and credit-rating firm that provides vital credit ratings, indices, market data and analytics to participants in the global capital, commodities and automotive markets.

The Mobility segment scheduled for separation—anchored by brands such as CARFAX, Polk and automotiveMastermind—delivers end-to-end vehicle-lifecycle data and intelligence, and aims to pursue growth more aggressively as an independent publicly traded company.
