S&P Global Inc. shares closed at $416.53 (down 0.68%) as the company navigates the fallout from a guidance miss and a broader market retreat. While BofA recently reinstated a Buy rating, UBS lowered its price target to $550 citing slowing growth in the Ratings segment.

  • UBS reduced its price target on February 17 due to concerns over growth deceleration within the company's core Ratings division.
  • Market sentiment was further pressured by geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, contributing to a general market decline on February 19.
  • Investors remain cautious regarding the execution of the planned Mobility division spin-off and its impact on near-term margins.
