DULLES, Va., Oct. 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- National Rural Utilities Cooperative Finance Corporation (CFC) has announced that S&P Global Ratings (S&P) has upgraded its long-term issuer credit rating to “A” from “A-” with a Stable Outlook.

S&P Global Ratings, the world's leading provider of independent credit ratings, today launched a new interactive dashboard providing a dynamic view of its rated North American data center universe across Project Finance, and Corporates, and Structured Finance asset-backed securities (SF ABS).

S&P Global filed a shelf registration covering shares, debt, and other securities, giving it flexibility to raise capital. The stock rose 2.24% in one day and 12.59% in 30 days, but fell 11.62% YTD, while a 3‑year return of 40.92% suggests stronger long‑term performance.

S&P Global is preparing to report Q3 earnings, with expected growth in Indices, Market Intelligence, and Ratings. The company faces earnings pressure despite AI demand, ETF inflows, and debt issuance.

S&P Global Inc. has released pro forma financials after separating its Mobility segment on July 1, 2026.

S&P Global Ratings launched an interactive dashboard showing its rated North American data center coverage, covering project finance, corporates, and structured finance asset‑backed securities. The dashboard includes 32 digital infrastructure transactions totaling $105.3 billion.
