"Over the past [--] years L'Oral $OR.PA has increased its operating income by 5.7% in real terms achieving this with remarkably low volatility. This growth has not slowed down recently. Of this growth 1.0% and 0.5% came from M&A while 2.8% and 3.4% came from real organic top-line growth over the past [--] and [--] years respectively. The remainder came from margin expansion rising from 12.3% to 20.0%. Charlie Munger has always said that only around 5% of businesses actually strengthen their moat over time. L'Oral is one of these businesses. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2015767031346258343"

"This is my quarterly portfolio update: Over the past [--] years I underperformed the market by 4.5% in total which is not great. It may have been a big mistake but despite the fact that the top [--] companies globally accounted for 50% of the total market return I didn't hold any positions in the FAANGs or Semis. My portfolio consists of a very diverse range of market-leading companies in their respective industries which tend to have quite similar characteristics: -Strong moat - Pricing Power -Predictability of earnings -Low technological disruption risk - durability of moat -Strong balance"

"Market Intelligence: This segment which mainly includes the Capital IQ platform is the business that is most exposed to AI. Many fear that the consumer-facing front-end platform might become obsolete due to AI automation which could become a reality in the not-so-distant future. However I believe that most people misunderstand the fact that it is not the software that is the use case but rather the proprietary data feed displayed on your screen. AI will certainly handle a significant amount of data gathering in the future but S&P Global is certainly best positioned to harness this power. I"

"Commodity Insights (now S&P Global Energy): This business is divided into two parts: [--]. Commodity Benchmarks: S&P Global is the world's leading provider of commodity and energy benchmarks mostly under the Platts brand. As with credit ratings the data points are mostly provided by thousands of energy traders around the world to "create the benchmarks". This data is neither freely available nor replicable by AI. [--]. Analytics (mostly under the IHS Markit brand): This segment provides analysis long-term forecasting supply/demand predictions etc. and is the business most likely to be disrupted. AI"

"In summary while some parts of S&P Global's business are exposed to AI most are not. Exposed: -Analytics half of commodity insights (7.5% of profits) -Market Intelligence (15% of profit) which could benefit from the switch from the capital-intensive sales team to the high-profit margin massive data feed into LLMs. The other segments (Ratings Indices Commodity Benchmarks) are at very low risk of disruption. In conclusion I believe the market is overreacting and doesn't fully understand each business segment. Let me know what your thoughts are."

"Ratings: S&P Global gathers vast amounts of data from credit issuers in order to create a rating. This data is divided into two categories: [--]. Public data: Gathered from all kinds of public filings/sources. [--]. Proprietary data provided by the issuing company in order to receive a rating. $SPGI earns the most from highly specialised non-public issuances rather than government bonds or public mega-caps. This segment has an extremely low risk of disruption from AI due to its incentive structure. A non-public mid-sized company has no incentive to provide sensitive data to an AI. The ratings"

"@adibmoti $MCO does have a significant analytics business which might come under pressure. I would argue that $SPGI has a lower risk due to their broader standing with indices and commodity benchmarks"
