The author contends that the ~5% drop in SPGI following Q2 earnings was a misinterpretation of the Mobility spin-off as a guidance cut, when core Ratings and Indices segments continue to grow at high margins.
I don't think that's what happened. Mobility left on July 1. The new $17.50–17.75 guide is continuing ops.
The market may be incorrectly applying a single multiple to a business that has shed a lower-growth segment, creating a potential re-rating opportunity.
Watch Watch for market recognition of the core business's growth profile versus the headline guidance figures.
