Price history
About
Mobility Global is the former S&P Global Mobility division, which S&P Global spun off on July 1, 2026. S&P Global shareholders received one Mobility Global share for each S&P Global share, and S&P Global kept no shares. The company sells automotive data, analytics and software, and most of its revenue comes from subscriptions.
The CARFAX segment sells vehicle history reports, car listings and other products to more than 40,000 dealers, and to banks and insurers. The B2B segment sells market data, buyer predictions, sales forecasts and dealer marketing tools such as Polk, automotiveMastermind and Market Scan to car makers, suppliers, dealers and banks. In Q3 2026, CARFAX had $313 million of revenue and B2B had $164 million.
Thesis
The market prices Mobility Global as a new spin-off with new debt and lower reported profits. Many S&P Global shareholders received the shares without choosing them, and a new company has no track record as a standalone business. Mobility Global issued $2.0 billion of senior notes before the spin-off and used the money mainly for a dividend to S&P Global. Its GAAP operating profit fell 15% in Q2 2026 because selling and general expenses rose 31%, mostly from $34 million of higher costs to set up the standalone company.
Investors also fear weak car markets and AI tools that can copy parts of data and analytics products. For the gap to close, Mobility Global must meet its 2026 guidance of $1,870 million to $1,885 million of revenue and $750 million to $760 million of adjusted EBITDA. CARFAX revenue must keep growing near the 8% of Q2 and Q3 2026, and new products must add revenue. Standalone costs must stop rising, and free cash flow must cover interest, the dividend and the share buybacks.
The Q3 2026 report on November 12, 2026, the first full quarter as a standalone company, passed this test: revenue grew 7.4%, and the company raised the low end of its adjusted EBITDA guidance. But selling and general expenses rose 50%, and the adjusted EBITDA margin fell to 41% from 43%. The Q4 report with the 2027 guidance in about February 2027 gives the next test. If growth and margins hold, the gap can close over the next four to six quarters.

Risks
- Mobility Global is a new standalone company. It must replace services that S&P Global gave it. In Q3 2026, selling and general expenses rose $68 million, or 50%. $13 million of this was higher costs of the separation, and the rest came mainly from higher compensation, strategic investments, advertising and the costs of a standalone public company.
- Revenue depends on car dealers and car makers. Weak car sales or fewer dealers can cut subscriptions to CARFAX and B2B products.
- AI tools and other data providers can compete with parts of its data and analytics products, which can lower prices or slow growth.
- The company has $2.0 billion of new debt and plans to buy back $350 million to $450 million of shares by the end of 2027. The credit facility has a maximum net leverage ratio of 3.50 times, and debt costs and buybacks lower the cash for investment.
