Participation is spreading downward — the mid and small companies added more this month than the large ones did.

Both lines start at 200 in the same week, so the distance between them is the whole story: the industry line is an equal-weighted index of its 14 companies. The bars underneath are trailing 12-month earnings per share, one bar per reported quarter, each member rebased to 100 at the start and the industry taking the median — so a price line pulling away from flat bars is a re-rating, not earnings. A bar turns red when that figure is lower than the quarter before. Rules are fixed and applied identically everywhere on this site: ahead by 5% or more over three months, or behind by 20% or more over a year while earnings grew 20% or more. Hover any point to read both values and the gap. This is a description of what the numbers did, not advice.

The central tension: the companies with the most scale are not necessarily the companies creating the most change.

Start with scale. Then earnings trajectory. Then business quality. Only after those three agree should price leadership carry much weight.

4-Factor Sector Score

An additive sector-relative research score. The four displayed point contributions always equal the total: Growth & earnings (35), Capital efficiency (25), Valuation (20), and Relative strength (20). Missing or stale evidence is absorbed inside the affected factor, never applied as a hidden adjustment.

Growth & earnings · 35%Capital efficiency · 25%Valuation · 20%Relative strength · 20%
TransUnion has the strongest current balance of earnings trajectory, business quality, valuation and price confirmation, with 76% evidence confidence.
FactSet Research Systems Inc. has stronger price confirmation than earnings confirmation; that is a research prompt, not permission to chase.

Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. Financial companies use P/BV÷ROE and asset quality; PEG, industrial OPM and ROCE are excluded.

Income Scale & Growth Durability

S&P Global Inc. has the highest Income among the 14 Financial Data & Stock Exchanges companies compared here, at $15,730 million. Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. is next at $13,077 million. TransUnion has the highest Income growth at 11%, so level and change sit with different companies. 9 of 14 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026.

What the numbers say: S&P Global Inc. is the scale leader at $15,730 million, 20.3% ahead of Intercontinental Exchange, Inc.. TransUnion's growth is 11% from a $4,727 million base, with 19 reported observations in the 20-quarter window. Treat the growth leader as an acceleration candidate, not as equally proven scale.

LeaderS&P Global Inc. · $15,730 million
Gap20.3% versus #2 · Intercontinental Exchange, Inc.
Persistence8/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage9/14 companies · 248 observations

Investor read: S&P Global Inc. is the scale benchmark; TransUnion is the acceleration watch. Promote the challenger only if growth persists and converts into margin and returns.

This conclusion weakens if: S&P Global Inc.'s growth falls below TransUnion's for two consecutive comparable reports while operating margin also compresses.

For lenders, reported income is used instead of industrial-company sales. Growth is compared year-on-year.

LeaderS&P Global Inc. · $5,153 million
Gap29.1% versus #2 · Intercontinental Exchange, Inc.
Persistence8/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage9/14 companies · 248 observations

Investor read: S&P Global Inc. sets the level benchmark; use the change leader as an inflection watch only after another comparable report confirms it.

This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current profit growth signal.

Net profit is ranked only where the comparison base is economically meaningful. Loss-to-profit flips are shown but do not win the growth table.

Funding Base & Its Composition

No company in this Financial Data & Stock Exchanges comparison has a funding base figure that passes this section's guard, so the Deposits rank is empty. On Borrowings, Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. is highest at $20,985 million, across 13 of 14 companies with a usable reading.

What the numbers say: There is not enough comparable evidence to name a reliable deposits leader.

LeaderNo comparable leader
GapNot enough peers
PersistenceNot enough history
Coverage0/14 companies · 0 observations

Investor read: The current leader sets the level benchmark; use the change leader as an inflection watch only after another comparable report confirms it.

This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current borrowings signal.

For banks, debt is operating funding rather than industrial leverage. Deposits and borrowings are therefore shown as funding-base levels; asset quality, funding cost and liquidity determine whether that funding is attractive.

LeaderMSCI Inc. · 7.3%
Gap40.4% versus #2 · Moody's Corporation
Persistence7/8 recent comparable periods
Coverage14/14 companies · 251 observations

Investor read: MSCI Inc. sets the level benchmark; use the change leader as an inflection watch only after another comparable report confirms it.

This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current roa change signal.

ROA is the cleanest first comparison for lenders because the balance sheet is the operating asset.

Gross NPA — Leaders & Improvers

No company in this Financial Data & Stock Exchanges comparison reports gross NPA on a comparable basis, so there is nothing to rank here — 0 of 14 companies have a usable current reading. The section is shown rather than removed so an unavailable metric is not mistaken for one that was quietly left out.

Lower gross NPA is better. Improvement means the ratio is falling, so ranks are intentionally inverted.

Valuation Against Growth & Quality

TransUnion has the lowest P/BV ÷ ROE among the 14 Financial Data & Stock Exchanges companies compared here, at 0.32×. Value Line, Inc. is next at 0.57×. MSCI Inc. has the lowest P/BV at -15.1×, so level and change sit with different companies. 10 of 14 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026.

What the numbers say: TransUnion has the lowest comparable P/BV ÷ ROE at 0.32×, 43.9% below Value Line, Inc.. Only 10 of 14 companies pass the guard, so no broad “cheapest stock” conclusion is defensible unless the current multiple, own-history position and growth durability agree.

Investor read: Treat valuation as permission to investigate, never as a standalone reason to buy.

This conclusion weakens if: The next two comparable reports reverse the current p/bv signal.

Banks are compared on P/BV and P/BV÷ROE, not PEG. Lower is better only if asset quality and return durability hold; cheap book value with weakening NPAs is not automatically attractive.

Before the conclusion · check the blind spots

What can make this comparison misleading?

This Financial Data & Stock Exchanges comparison names 6 specific ways its own evidence can mislead, all listed below. All 14 companies here report on comparable dates, so no rank carries a stale marker. 2 of the 7 ranked sections have fewer than three usable current readings. A high growth rate can still be a low-base artefact.

Keep these limits visible

  • A high growth rate can be a low-base artefact. The page keeps level and change separate for that reason.
  • A high ROE can be manufactured with leverage. Read it beside ROA and asset quality.
  • The 4-Factor Sector Score ranks research priority, not portfolio action. Management quality, catalysts and risks need equally fresh evidence before capital is deployed.
  • An “all companies” line chart preserves completeness, but rank changes should be checked against reporting dates before drawing a conclusion.
  • Banks and lenders are not forced through operating-margin or ROCE comparisons; missing lender-specific fields remain visibly missing.
  • Thin comparisons: Funding base, Asset quality have fewer than three usable current readings.
09 · the complete set

Which companies are included?

All 14 companies in the canonical Financial Data & Stock Exchanges membership are listed below, largest market value first — nothing is silently dropped, even where a company reports too little to rank. The charts above default to a selective view; this register is the complete set, with each company's own latest reporting date beside it.

AHEAD means the company is beating the index by 5% or more over three months. LAGGING, FUNDAMENTALS UP means it is 20% or more behind over a year while its trailing twelve-month earnings grew 20% or more. Both rules are fixed and applied the same way in every sector.

Financial Data & Stock Exchanges company comparison FAQs

These 15 answers restate the Financial Data & Stock Exchanges comparison above in question form. Every one is computed from the same 14 companies and the same reported filings as the rankings and charts, current through Jun 2026. Price and relative-strength answers run through 2026-07-28. Nothing here is estimated, and none of it is a recommendation.

Which Financial Data & Stock Exchanges company is the biggest?

S&P Global Inc. is the largest, with trailing-twelve-month income of $15,730 million, ahead of Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. at $13,077 million. That covers 9 of 14 companies with comparable reporting through Mar 2026.

Which Financial Data & Stock Exchanges company is growing fastest?

TransUnion has the fastest income growth at 11% year on year, across 9 of 14 comparable companies. Fast growth off a small base is not the same as proven scale — check whether the rate holds across several quarters on the chart above before treating it as a trend.

Which Financial Data & Stock Exchanges company makes the most profit?

S&P Global Inc. earns the most, at $5,153 million of trailing-twelve-month net profit, from 9 of 14 comparable companies. TransUnion has the fastest profit growth at 86%, though growth off a small or recovering profit base overstates how much has actually changed.

Which Financial Data & Stock Exchanges company earns the highest return on capital?

MSCI Inc. leads on return on assets at 7.3%, across 14 of 14 companies. Read it beside the length of its reported history: a high return that repeats for years is evidence of a durable business, while a single high reading can be a small capital base or one good year.

Which Financial Data & Stock Exchanges stock is the cheapest?

On price-to-book divided by return on equity — where a LOWER number is cheaper — TransUnion screens cheapest at 0.32×. Only 10 of 14 companies pass the comparability guard, so this is not a sector-wide "cheapest stock" verdict. Cheap on a multiple is a reason to investigate, never a reason to buy on its own.

Is the Financial Data & Stock Exchanges sector beating the market?

Financial Data & Stock Exchanges has underperformed S&P 500 by 23.4% over the last 52 weeks and 0.6% over 13 weeks, measured on an equal-weight index of its current members. Inside the sector, 2 of 14 covered companies are beating the market on their own. Sector strength does not transfer evenly to every stock in it.

Which Financial Data & Stock Exchanges stock has the strongest price momentum?

MarketWise, Inc. has the strongest relative strength against S&P 500. Relative strength answers last, after growth, quality and valuation: price can move well before the fundamentals confirm it, and sometimes without them confirming at all.

Which Financial Data & Stock Exchanges company scores highest for research priority?

TransUnion scores 66.6 out of 100 with 76% evidence confidence, from 26 points on growth and earnings, 15.4 on capital efficiency, 9.9 on valuation and 15.3 on relative strength. This ranks what deserves work next. It is not a buy recommendation, and management quality, catalysts and risk still need separate research.

How many Financial Data & Stock Exchanges companies does this comparison cover, and over what period?

It compares 14 listed companies over up to 20 reported quarters of fundamentals and 6 fiscal years of capital allocation, ending Jun 2026, plus weekly price and relative-strength history. Membership is the full sector list — nothing is dropped for having thin data.

What is the total market cap of the Financial Data & Stock Exchanges sector?

The 14 Financial Data & Stock Exchanges companies on this page carry $595,983 million of combined market value. S&P Global Inc. is the largest at $125,602 million, about 21% of the sector's total on its own. Market value moves with price, so this reading is dated 2026-07-28.

What is the Financial Data & Stock Exchanges sector's P/B ratio?

The median price-to-book ratio across the 14 Financial Data & Stock Exchanges companies on this page is 3.7×, measured on the 11 that report a comparable figure. A sector-level history for this multiple is not held here, so this is a cross-section of today, not a comparison with the sector’s own past. Figures are as of 2026-07-28.

How is the Financial Data & Stock Exchanges sector performing?

2 of the 14 covered Financial Data & Stock Exchanges companies are beating S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength. The sector itself is 23.4% behind S&P 500 over 52 weeks on an equal-weight index of its current members. Readings are as of 2026-07-28.

How many Financial Data & Stock Exchanges stocks are listed in the US?

This comparison covers 14 listed Financial Data & Stock Exchanges companies in the US, each above the size floor the site applies. The full ranked list is on this page, with reported fundamentals through Jun 2026. Membership is the full industry list — nothing is dropped for having thin data.

Why are some values on this page blank?

A blank means that company did not report a comparable figure for that period, so nothing is shown. Missing observations are never interpolated, carried forward, or replaced with a similar-looking accounting line, and a company with missing evidence has its research score pulled toward neutral rather than being scored as bad.

Is this investment advice?

No. Every figure here is a deterministic calculation from reported company filings and market data, published for research. It contains no recommendation to buy or sell any security, does not account for your circumstances, and is not a substitute for advice from a licensed adviser.
