Direct Answer
S&P Global reports revenue across 5 business segments in its fiscal 2025 Form 10-K. Market Intelligence is the largest, with $4.9 billion of revenue (32% of the total), followed by Ratings at $4.5 billion (30%). 61% of revenue came from the United States.
How Does S&P Global Make Money?
No single line supplies a majority of revenue: the largest, Market Intelligence, is 32%, which spreads S&P Global's exposure across several demand drivers. Between fiscal 2024 and 2025, Indices grew fastest (+13.7%) and Market Intelligence slowest (+5.8%), so the revenue mix tilts toward Indices while that gap lasts.
| Segment | FY2025 revenue | FY2024 revenue | Share of revenue | Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Market Intelligence | $4.9 billion | $4.6 billion | 32.0% | 5.8% |
| Ratings | $4.5 billion | $4.2 billion | 29.7% | 8.1% |
| Energy | $2.3 billion | $2.1 billion | 15.0% | 7.3% |
| Indices | $1.8 billion | $1.6 billion | 12.0% | 13.7% |
| Mobility | $1.7 billion | $1.6 billion | 11.4% | 8.6% |
Which S&P Global Segments Earn the Most?
| Segment | FY2025 segment operating income | Segment margin |
|---|---|---|
| Market Intelligence | $991 million | 20.2% |
| Ratings | $3.0 billion | 66.2% |
| Energy | $943 million | 41.0% |
| Indices | $1.3 billion | 69.1% |
| Mobility | $378 million | 21.6% |
Segment operating income is the profit measure S&P Global reports to its chief operating decision maker for each segment. It usually leaves out corporate costs that are not allocated to a segment, so the segments usually add up to more than consolidated operating income, and margins are comparable within S&P Global more safely than against another company.

What the Segment Figures Do Not Show
The rows above add up to 100% of S&P Global's reported revenue for fiscal 2025; the difference is intersegment eliminations, corporate revenue or items the company reports outside its segments. Segment definitions are management's choice and change when a company reorganizes, in which case it restates prior years in the next filing, so a multi-year comparison should use the figures from a single filing. Revenue shows where sales come from, not where profit or cash is earned: a small segment can carry most of the margin.
Where These Numbers Come From
Every figure on this page is a value S&P Global reported in the segment note and revenue disclosures of its Form 10-K filed February 11, 2026 (accession 0000064040-26-000013), read from the SEC's Financial Statement Data Sets. The prior-year column is the comparative figure from that same filing, so it reflects any restatement for a change in segments. Category names are the company's own XBRL labels, lightly reformatted for reading.
Rows that only total other rows (for example a "Products" line beside the individual products) are left out so nothing is counted twice. This page is educational and describes reported history for fiscal 2025; it is not a forecast or a recommendation.
