The Zacks Consensus Estimate for S&P Global’s fourth-quarter 2021 revenues stands at $2.04 billion, indicating growth of 9.3% from the year-ago period’s reported figure.
Segment wise, Ratings revenues are likely to have been driven by strength across both transaction and non-transaction revenues. Transaction revenues are likely to have been backed by gains in bank loan rating activity and structured finance, which offset declines in corporate bond issuance. Non-transaction revenues are expected to benefit from fees associated with surveillance, new-entity ratings and Rating Evaluation Service activity. Market Intelligence revenues are expected to have gained from growth in Data Management Solutions, Credit Risk Services and Desktop. Platts revenues are likely to have benefited from growth in the core subscription business. Indices revenues are likely to have been aided by strength across asset-linked fees and exchange-traded derivative activity.
Revenue growth is likely to have boosted S&P Global’s fourth-quarter 2021 earnings, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for which is pegged at $3.13 per share, indicating growth of 15.5% from the year-ago period’s reported figure.
