S&P Global Inc. · 2026-04-28 · Importance 44 · Surprise 60

On January 5, 2026 the OECD issued administrative guidance on potential exclusions for U.S.-parented groups; S&P Global is monitoring adoption timing and will evaluate financial statement impact as jurisdictions adopt local law. Management indicates continued monitoring of developments and possible future evaluation of effects on the company’s reporting.
