SPGI

60 +36 all-time
Last scored 2026-07-14

Launch of agentic AI-powered Credit Memo Builder demonstrates how financial analysis work is being automated. This threatens traditional financial research and analysis roles that drive S&P Global's human-intensive business model.

Reading — Higher scores = stronger evidence of disruption from agentic AI threatening this company's business model.
§ 01 — Why this score

How the score works. These five signals are weighed together into one forward-looking conviction from 0–100 — it's a judgment, not a sum of the bars. That number is then ranked against every other stock we track, so it can also move when other stocks move. It reflects the outlook from here, not how the price has done for us.

Run-by-run detail

The fund's full reasoning for each scoring run, in its own words. More technical than the plain-English summary above.

2026-07-14 60 +34

Bear thesis has narrative support from AI-displacement macro story, but stock is already 21% off highs and near support. Win-prob only 55 — not enough conviction to short a high-quality franchise. Doesn't meet convergence bar. Pass.

2026-07-13 26 +10

Bear thesis on a high-quality data/ratings franchise sitting near 52wk low support. The AI-knowledge-worker displacement catalyst is thematic but not sharp enough to force a break. Neutral-to-negative lean but not actionable.

2026-07-12 16 -5

Bear thesis but win-probability is weak and stock is bouncing hard. Momentum working against the short. Catalyst backdrop from AI displacement of financial analytics is intact medium-term, but near-term setup is wrong for a bear entry. Skip.

2026-07-11 21 +7

Bear thesis on SPGI is fighting a strong bounce and a not-extreme 27x PE. Win-probability specialist explicitly notes low near-term probability of a 10% decline. Bear catalyst read is tangential. No conviction to short here.

2026-07-10 14 -7

Bear thesis on SPGI is thin — AI encroachment on ratings/analytics is a slow-moving structural pressure, not an immediate catalyst. Meanwhile the stock is bouncing hard and win-probability agent flags near-term upside exhaustion is unlikely. Momentum is against the short. No conviction to press.

2026-07-09 21 +7

Bear thesis on a high-quality name that is bouncing hard and trading at reasonable multiple. Win-prob agent explicitly flags the bounce exhausting near-term downside and momentum is against us. Catalyst is real but one article. Not a short we should press here.

2026-07-08 14 -5

Bear thesis on a name that just bounced 6% with momentum_pct at 59 is fighting the tape. Win-Probability specialist explicitly says near-term bear probability is low. Thesis at 37 is weak and there's no SPGI-specific catalyst. Skip.

2026-07-07 19 0

Bear thesis on SPGI is the weakest setup in the batch. Win-Probability agent explicitly says the recent bounce exhausts near-term downside, and PE of 27.9 with reasonable rate sensitivity doesn't scream short. Catalyst is a self-inflicted AI pivot — real but slow-burn, not tradeable. Pass.

2026-07-06 19 -57

Bear thesis on SPGI has intellectual merit — agentic finance is a real long-term disruption vector — but win-prob at 28 says the short doesn't work now, and shorting a quality compounder mid-bounce with only a 2030-timeframe catalyst is a poor risk/reward. Skip; revisit if setup deteriorates.

2026-07-05 76 +36

Bear thesis has some merit with weak momentum, but win-prob at 62 doesn't clear the 65 bar for a new short and PE isn't extreme enough for a valuation collapse. Not actionable — skip.

2026-07-04 40 -2

Bear thesis on a high-quality franchise where the disruption is real but multi-year. Momentum weak but valuation not extreme enough for a compression event. Not shortable at our bar and not a long. Skip.

2026-07-03 42 -8

Bear setup with reasonable win-probability but the valuation isn't stretched enough to fund a big compression trade, and momentum is already weak — much of the drawdown may be behind us. Not conviction-worthy on either side. Skip.

2026-06-29 50 -25

Bear thesis on AI disruption to financial data/analytics has some merit, but stock is already significantly off highs and recent 5d strength suggests the easy money on this short is gone. Applying the ACN/GLOB lesson: don't act on bear signals when much of the drawdown has occurred. Skip.

2026-06-28 75 +4

Bear thesis with the highest win-probability and momentum in this batch, but SPGI has already corrected 29% from highs limiting incremental downside. Quality franchise with durable cashflows makes this a low-conviction short. Pass.

2026-06-27 71 -1

Bear catalysts are real — agentic AI is encroaching on financial intelligence incumbents — but the stock has already absorbed much of the pain and durable revenue limits the short payoff. Doesn't clear the bar for a new short.

2026-06-26 72 +11

Best bear setup in the batch — multiple AI-in-finance catalysts (Microsoft, PwC/OpenAI treasury agents) directly hit S&P's data/analytics moat, and momentum supports the short. But stock has already repriced significantly and convergence bar for a new short isn't cleanly met. Constructive bear lean, not yet actionable.

2026-06-25 61 +14

Bear thesis with reasonable win-probability but the stock is already 29% below highs, meaning much of the bear case may be in the price. Quality franchise with durable revenue. No specific negative catalyst. Not a clean short setup; skip.

2026-06-24 47 +14

Bear thesis on a high-quality franchise that has already corrected substantially. Momentum percentile of 76 actually contradicts the bear setup. Limited remaining downside and no specific catalyst. Pass.

2026-06-23 33 -35

Bear setup on SPGI is unattractive — the easy money is gone with shares already 29% off highs, and momentum_pct of 75 is actually working against the bear thesis. Quality data/ratings franchise with durable revenue isn't a high-conviction short. Skip.

2026-06-22 68 +55

Bear thesis on AI disruption of financial data/ratings has merit and LTX news supports it, but stock has already corrected substantially. Win-prob agent flags limited incremental downside on a quality franchise. Not actionable as a fresh short.

2026-06-21 13 -15

Bear-aligned name with weak win-probability and no specific catalyst. Momentum at 81 actively works against a short thesis — the stock is recovering off lows. Forward setup is uninspiring from either direction; skip.

2026-06-20 28 +12

Bear-aligned name where the price action is actually firming up — momentum at 78 and partial recovery undermine the bear case. Win-probability of 38 reflects low conviction for a near-term drop. No specific catalyst either way. Skip.

2026-06-18 16 +5

Bear thesis on financial-services knowledge work is thematically reasonable but SPGI has already absorbed much of the de-rating and shows near-term buying pressure with momentum_pct at 74. Win-Probability specialist flags low conviction on a further 10%+ drop. No direct catalyst, just thematic. Not actionable short, not a buy.

2026-06-17 11 -9

Bear thesis is weakening — stock already 28% off highs with recent buying pressure. Win-probability specialist explicitly notes limited near-term downside conviction. No catalyst, no specialist conviction. Skip on watchlist.

2026-06-16 20 0

Bear setup but the easy money already moved — stock has bounced off lows and there's no specific negative catalyst to force the next leg down. Win-prob agent isn't confident in a 10%+ drop. Nothing to do here.

2026-06-15 20 -23

Bear thesis with weak win-probability and no concrete catalyst. Stock already corrected meaningfully so the short setup is stale. Not actionable from either side.

2026-06-14 43 0

Bear-aligned watchlist name with no specialist conviction and momentum at 68 actively working against the short thesis. Without a concrete agentic-AI disruption catalyst for financial data/analytics, the bear case has no urgency. Skip.

2026-06-14 43 +19

Bear thesis on SPGI but the stock's own momentum at 68 is working against the short case, and there is no specific catalyst to drive a re-rate down. Without a concrete agentic-AI disintermediation headline, no edge to act. Skip.

2026-06-13 24 +4

Bear thesis on SPGI but momentum is the highest metric (66) and works against the short case. No specific AI-displacement catalyst materialized. Without convergence on a bear catalyst, skip — don't short into strength on a tangential thesis.

2026-06-12 20 -2

SPGI carries a bear alignment but momentum is at 70 — that's a conflicted setup with no specialist conviction. Not actionable on either side. Skip.

2026-06-11 22 +4

S&P Global flagged as bear-aligned but momentum_pct is 74 — the tape is going the wrong way for a short thesis, and there's no catalyst to force the issue. Bear thesis convergence not met. Skip; revisit if price breaks down.

2026-06-10 18 -2

Bear thesis on SPGI is undermined by the global watchdog regulatory signal that slows agentic AI in finance — exactly the disruption vector the short relied on. Momentum is also against the bear at 63. Low conviction, skip.

2026-06-09 20 -4

Bear thesis on SPGI with absolutely no news catalyst and momentum at 64 working against the short setup. Without a direct-substitute AI agent headline or clear deterioration signal, there's no edge to act on. Skip — bear theses need a catalyst to monetize.

2026-06-08 24

Bear-leaning specialists with no direct catalyst and momentum running against the thesis. No basis to short and no basis to buy. Hard skip.
