Author argues SPGI's 17% selloff is a credit-cycle overreaction, citing 79% recurring revenue, temporary borrower hesitation on rates, and a reasonable 22x forward earnings as a good entry point.

SPGI — LONG The author argues SPGI's 17% five-day selloff is a credit-cycle overreaction, as investors are pricing the Ratings segment as if high rates permanently broke the machine despite 79% recurring revenue. The author acknowledges real execution risk from the 2026 Mobility Global spin-off and the $1.8B With Intelligence acquisition but contends these do not affect the core business. At 22x forward earnings, the author sees a good entry point for a strong-moat business, though no explicit price target or timeframe is given.

I personally see this as a good entry point for a strong moat business.
