Original Reddit post

Author argues S&P Global (SPGI) is not investible because AI is eroding its Market Intelligence data aggregation and Ratings risk-assessment advantages over the next 2-3 years.

SPGI — AVOID Author says SPGI's Market Intelligence segment is being disrupted as Gemini/OpenAI can scrape and pipe real-time data, and its Ratings business is threatened as BlackRock, Vanguard and insurers use AI for risk assessment. The claimed mechanism is that clients will build their own faster, better data solutions, making SPGI less investible over a 2-3 year horizon. The author acknowledges SPGI may adapt but says it has gone from data-aggregation leader to behind in a few years.

Verdict: Not investible. In the next 2-3 years this may service a section of the market and provide modest returns but the sector of people SPGI services has a lot of money. Most of these institutions will invest in their own solutions to get faster better data.
