S&P Global: A Look at Recent Activity and Insider Trading
S&P Global, Inc. is a business services provider that deals with transparent and independent ratings, analytics, benchmarks and data to the capital and commodity markets worldwide. S&P Global provides multi-asset class information and analytics integrated with workflow solutions. Recently, there have been changes in the company’s position among hedge funds including Clearbridge Investments and Longview Partners Guernsey. Notably, Clearbridge Investments LLC increased its shares of S&P Global by 11,089.7% during the 1st quarter, placing them as holders of 2,230,227 shares worth $914,794,000.
Despite the slight dip in share prices from February’s trading activity being reported in March 2023 – S&P Global announced earnings per share (EPS) for the first financial quarter to be $3.15; beating consensus estimates of $2.92 by $0.23 while having a net margin of 29.05% with a return on equity of roughly 10%. The business had revenue of $3.16 billion during the quarter compared to analyst estimates of $3.06 billion.
Recent insider trading includes CEO Douglas L.Peterson selling about 7,500 shares of company stock worth approximately $2,703,900 in February 2023 through two transactions; one transaction on Wednesday 15th February where he sold his shares for an average price of $360.52 which amounted to over two million dollars followed by another transaction three days prior where he sold another set of shares at a similar average price from which stakeholders acquired holdings.
In conclusion it seems that those who were inclined towards buying or holding stakes are being met with some boost despite Peterson’s disposal activity whose impact has been acknowledged albeit not substantial considering both insider trades collectively sell less than 1% worth of total stakeholding value which remains high representing institutional investors and hedge funds owning 87.27% of the S&P Global’s stock. Recent recommendations suggest that S&P Global remains a “Moderate Buy” with a consensus target price of $394.50, reflecting stability in the market and an overall positive outlook for investors.
