SPGI
S&P Global Inc.
stock NYSE

Many quality names have been selling off recently, such as CSU, CPRT, VEEV, NOW, MELI, SPGI, CRM, ZTS, ROL, and CSGP in favor of momentum names (mostly semis). Any contrarians out there adding significantly amidst this downturn?

NVO?
My backtesting says this:
1 stock up all 12/12: NVO (Novo Nordisk).
10 stocks at 11/12: AMZN, FICO, LYV, MA, MCO, ORLY, SPGI, TJX, NVS, UL

Agreed, SPGI and only SPGI from this list.

After underperforming the market for the first 7 months of this year, I've decided to call it quits on picking individual stocks and instead throw my money into a broad market ETF like VOO. My portfolio consisted of only top tier companies with wide MOATs, sector dominance, and solid balance sheets - however, many of them have massively underperformed or done almost nothing for 8-10 months, causing my portfolio to miss out on the big gains the broader market has seen. Names like SPGI, MA, ORLY, RSG - all solid companies - have literally gone nowhere and I am tired of waiting for them to do something while the S&P continues climbing up and up. We are seeing some of the biggest yearly gains that the overall market has achieved in history and missing out on this period or underperforming the market could mean setting yourself back many years for retirement, buying a house, etc.
Picking individual stocks is fun and it feels almost like adult Pokemon - you pick your characters, send them into battle (the stock market), and see how they do. However, I've come to the realization that beating the S&P long term is a fools errand and only a very small percentage of active fund managers (professional traders, not just average Joe's) actually beat the market long term. The winning strategy is not to buy keep buying the dip on stocks or go bottom feeding - it's to simply buy a broad market ETF, do nothing but add money to it, and watch it compound for years.

Long ICE, META and SPGI. Exchanges are down because they of AI and lacking betting infrastructure. Great time to buy

Hi guys , i have a special interest in quality compounder and i’ve been refining my watchlist lately, focusing on compounders that are currently out of favor. We all know that if a stock price *only* went up, it would be priced to perfection, leaving no margin of safety for us. Sometimes a drawdown is just a necessary multiple re-rating; other times, it’s a warning sign of a broken thesis.
The real challenge for a value investor is identifying when the "pain" is just noise and when the moat is actually evaporating. I'm interested in companies where the fundamentals remain rock-solid, but the market is currently punishing them due to macro headwinds, temporary margin compression, or just overly high expectations that are finally resetting.
I'm currently looking at these companies and i believe that regardless of the current drawdown, fundamentals are intact and these remain strong long-term plays.

(I'm intentionally avoiding Netflix, as I don't see an impenetrable moat, and I'm steering clear of most pure-play software, as I find it hard to distinguish between true competitive advantages and "feature-based" businesses that can be disrupted overnight.)
**I’m curious to hear your take:**
How do you personally stress-test whether a drawdown is a buying opportunity or the beginning of a terminal decline? When a high-quality name drops, what specific KPIs or red flags do you look for to confirm that the business model is still intact, rather than just "hoping" for a turnaround?
Which beaten down quality stock are you monitoring right now ?

They're Schwab's portfolio margin risk metrics. EPR (expected price range) is the *theoretical* maximum amount a security could move up or down in a single day. PNR (point of no return) is the percentage move an underlying would have to make before the entire brokerage account goes to zero. Basically the more contracts you pile on, the more leveraged the position becomes and the PNR gets lower and lower since it would take a smaller move in the stock to wipe you out. So if the stock has an EPR of 25% (the lowest value Schwab gives to individual stocks), I'm going to make sure my PNR doesn't get below 75% (3x of 25%). This is where the share price comes in since a stock trading at $500 carries a lot more notional risk (when levered up with options) than a stock trading at $50, etc.
I target a range of stocks that meet my risk requirements, everything listed above, but basically they're all more or less equally (un)likely to move 30% within 2 weeks. I filter it by earnings so stocks come and go from the list as they move through earnings reports.
Here's what I traded the last weekly and the last monthly expirations. There's a few that are greater than $350/share and those were mostly 0dte.

All the companies you mentioned are in my portfolio. ASML and CAT aren’t going anywhere, instead of selling just scale back on purchasing them and instead put that money into AMZN, SPGI, and MA.

Applying a data ontology framework to AI moat investing — why FactSet, Veeva, Roper, and SPGI may be mispriced relative to Snowflake/Databricks. Methodology and open question on durability inside.

So, my 2 biggest positions are asml with an avg cost of 700usd. And CAT with an avg cost of 250usd. With both being at ATH I am super tempted to sell to buy AMZN. SPGI and MA.
My biggest concern is, I honestly don't need to sell, however I think they already ran as much as they should.. but of course I've been saying that since both of them were much lower than right now... my frustration is that I don't see anything bad with them I mean they are not bad businesses but priced already for future perfection... if i technically don't need to sell should I hold?

Dude, you're on the "dividends" sub, AKA, the "I can't understand a business so i only look at dividend yield percentages " sub. The next most discussed stock today is PSEC, a trash stock only talked about on r/dividends because this sub is attracted to super high yield traps that lose money. The fact that the top comment has zero insight says a lot about this sub, just filled with uneducated.
SPGI is in fact one of the best businesses in the world. The dividend yield is low BECAUSE it is one of the best businesses in the world. In fact buying companies with the LOWEST dividend yields outperform high yield stocks because you're actually buying great business models instead of trash nobody wants and have no future.
The only reason it is down is because of fears of AI disrupting a minority part of the company, the data analytics. Meanwhile, its earnings are at all time highs, and valuations lowest since Covid lows. These fears are way overblown because it assumes people will use chatbots to scrape financial data instead of paying SPGI for curated data. This is totally baseless because not only SPGI sells proprietary data that AI can't even access, AI models actually pay SPGI for their data. An example is, if you're trading commodities with real time supply and demand, AI is not going to be accurate at these niche data, SPGI is almost irreplaceable. And that's only a minority of the business as the core business is actually ratings which is part of an oligopoly. None of that is disrupted by AI.
So you're doing the right thing, you actually looked at financials instead of randomly choosing a high yield stock and assumed that's your income. SPGI will do well long term and a great buy right now, not because of any dividends, but because it is a irreplaceable utility in the financial industry trading at the cheapest levels since the bottom of a crash. At 20x forward P/E, you're making over 5% earnings yield, with room for additional returns from valuation expansion.

SPGI or MBGL? If you owned SPGI before June 15, you will automatically get 1 share of MBGL for each share you own of SPGI.

I know - a lot of (AI) companies are at their ATH. Which is why I'm getting more and more interested in SPGI. Plus it has a strong economic moat IMO.
I think it's a good company to diversify from tech.

Why doesn't SPGI get talked about more around here?
