Consistent Earnings Beat
S&P Global Inc. (SPGI) has consistently beaten EPS estimates for the last three reported quarters (Q4 2024, Q3 2024, Q2 2024), with actual EPS exceeding estimates by 6.78%, 10.7%, and 9.43% respectively. This indicates strong operational execution and forecasting accuracy.
Attractive P/E Ratio Relative to Growth
While the TTM P/E ratio is 55.4, the company's historical net income growth suggests a potential for future earnings expansion. A forward-looking analysis considering projected earnings growth is recommended to assess if the current valuation is justified.
High P/E Ratio
The trailing Price-to-Earnings (P/E) ratio of 55.4 (TTM) and quarterly P/E ratios exceeding 100 (e.g., 142.7 for Q1 2025) are significantly high. This suggests the stock may be overvalued and susceptible to sharp corrections if growth expectations are not met.
Slowing Revenue Growth in Recent Quarters
While annual revenue showed growth from 2021 to 2024, the quarterly revenue figures (e.g., Q1 2025: $3.777B, Q4 2024: $3.592B) suggest a potential slowdown in the pace of revenue increase compared to earlier periods.
