Overview
S&P Capital IQ Pro is the main desktop platform of S&P Global Market Intelligence, which delivers data, analytics and research through Capital IQ Pro and S&P Capital IQ with Microsoft Office integration, as well as through cloud, data-feed and API channels[3]. A 2026 platform brochure lists more than 109,000 public companies, including more than 49,000 active with current financials, and more than 54 million private companies, of which more than 14 million have financials[2].
Beyond financial statements, the platform covers M&A (more than 1.2 million deals), public offerings, funding rounds (including Crunchbase records), buybacks, sector datasets for banks, insurers, energy and mining, and aftermarket research from more than 1,800 investment banks[2]. Excel formulas link data into models and refresh with one click; the brochure also describes the ChatIQ AI assistant and document search[2]. S&P runs a Quality Program that donates US$50 to charity for each verified error or omission[2].
Of the sources in this list, S&P publishes the clearest split between companies in the database and companies with financials. Its product pages blocked automated access during this review, so figures rest on the brochure and the investor fact book. Pricing is not published.
