"Financial market data & services. From my latest update on $FDS. - A group averaging 30.2% EBIT margins and 28.2% FCF margins. - In my opinion [--] of the [--] highest quality companies in the world are on this list. - The weaker (but good) quality of the bunch (Gartner Factset & Wolters Kluwer) have seen the steepest valuation cuts. - Long-term either of them 15x P/E should be a good deal. - A basket approach mixing the less but good quality names and some higher quality stuff (S&P Global in particular) is a good strategy.
