S&P Global announced a strategic review of Capital IQ and associated data businesses on October 27, identifying the initiative in its third-quarter results announcement.
The company’s brief public notice confirms that a review is underway. It does not announce a completed separation or identify a buyer, transaction price or completion date.
Capital IQ Pro provides financial professionals with company, market, credit and economic information, alongside financial documents, news and research. Its tools support tasks including valuation, screening and financial modeling.
Earlier background: On October 6, S&P Global announced expanded ChatIQ capabilities for the platform, including conversational access to data and tools for spreadsheets and presentations. That product announcement predates the newly confirmed business review.
The company scheduled its third-quarter earnings discussion for 8:30 a.m. Eastern time on October 27. The initial notice directs readers to its investor-relations materials for financial details.
Any eventual ownership or organizational change remains a separate development requiring confirmation.
