Earnings Per Share [Abstract]  
Earnings Per Share 3. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per common share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income attributable to the common
shareholders of the Company by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed in
the same manner as basic EPS, except that the calculation includes the dilutive effect of the assumed vesting of outstanding
restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under the treasury stock method, except where the inclusion of such shares would have an
antidilutive impact. There were no antidilutive RSUs excluded from the diluted EPS calculation for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2026. Prior to the Separation on July 1, 2026, employee equity awards represented potential
shares of S&P Global common stock rather than the Company's common stock and were not included in the Company's
diluted EPS calculation. 
The calculation of basic and diluted EPS is as follows:
