S&P Global close to over $40bn deal for IHS Markit

The deal would combine one of the oldest names in financial markets with a relative newcomer

S&P Global is nearing a deal to acquire IHS Markit for about $44bn, according to people familiar with the matter, a landmark deal that would combine two of the largest providers of data to Wall Street.

The all-stock deal, which at that price would be the largest of the year, could be announced as soon as Monday, the people said. There is always a chance the talks could fall apart at the last minute.
