On March 17, BMO Capital analyst Jeffrey Silber raised the price recommendation on S&P Global Inc. (NYSE:SPGI) to $495 from $482. It reiterated an Outperform rating on the shares. He pointed to stronger issuance trends. February billed issuance rose 22% year over year, a sharp step up from January’s 3% y/y increase, as noted in the research report. That shift stands out. A move from low single-digit growth to over 20% in a month suggests momentum is building.

On March 18, S&P Global announced the completion of its acquisition of Enertel AI Corporation. The firm focuses on AI and machine learning-driven short-term power price forecasting across North American electricity markets. These capabilities will be integrated into S&P Global’s Energy division. The business already provides long-term power market intelligence, including benchmarks, historical pricing, and strategic forecasts.

With Enertel AI Corporation now part of the platform, the offering expands into real-time insights. It adds AI-powered nodal price forecasts and decision tools used by physical power traders, utilities, and asset operators managing an increasingly complex grid. The result is a more complete view of the power market, covering both long-term outlooks and next-day pricing signals.

S&P Global Inc. (NYSE:SPGI) provides essential intelligence through five segments: Market Intelligence, Ratings, Commodity Insights, Mobility, and Indices.
