Henry Varnum Poor began publishing railroad financial data in 1860, and Standard Statistics merged in with it in 1941. Ratings are the profit engine: issuers pay to have debt rated, and the business is effectively a duopoly with Moody's, which draws recurring regulatory scrutiny after the structured finance failures of 2008. Market intelligence, the S&P Dow Jones index franchise including the S&P 500, and commodity price assessments through Platts round out the company. IHS Markit merged in during 2022. Headquarters are in New York City.
