Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Once a benchmark is accepted by capital or commodity market participants, it is difficult to displace. As a result, S&P has strong pricing power in its ratings, index subscriptions, and Platts business.

Bears

A slowing global economy and rising interest rates will eventually pressure bond issuance, adversely affecting the largest profit driver, the ratings business.
