S&P Global operates within the financial information services industry, facing intense competition from both traditional and non-traditional providers. The company competes based on quality of offerings, client service, reputation, price, geographic scope, product range, and technological innovation.

• Cybersecurity Risks: S&P Global acknowledges its increased risk of cyberattacks due to its size, scale, and role in global markets. The company handles sensitive data, including material non-public information, making it a target for sophisticated attacks.
• Innovation and Competition: The rapid pace of technological change requires continuous innovation and investment. Failure to compete effectively with new products and services could negatively impact profitability.
• Regulatory Changes: The financial services industry is highly regulated, and increasing regulations, especially regarding credit ratings and benchmarks, can increase costs and compliance risks.
• Data and Information Dependence: S&P Global relies on data from third-party suppliers. Loss of key suppliers, data errors, or delays could disrupt services and impact the business.
• Global Operations Risks: Operating in various countries exposes S&P Global to a range of legal, economic, and political risks, including international trade restraints, economic sanctions, and varying data privacy regulations.
