About IHS Markit

IHS Markit, a prominent player in the financial information services sector, traces its roots back to two distinct entities. Markit, founded in 2003 by Lance Uggla, emerged as a leader in credit derivative pricing. Meanwhile, IHS, established in 1959, provided critical information and analytics across various industries.

The pivotal moment in the company's history came in 2016 when Markit and IHS merged to form IHS Markit. This merger combined Markit's expertise in financial services with IHS's broad industry insights, creating a powerhouse in data and analytics.

In a significant development, IHS Markit was acquired by S&P Global in 2020 for approximately $39 billion. This acquisition marked one of the largest in the financial services industry, further solidifying the company's position as a leader in providing essential information and analytics to businesses worldwide.

Today, IHS Markit stands as a testament to strategic mergers and acquisitions, showcasing how combining strengths can lead to industry dominance. The journey from its founding to its acquisition highlights the importance of adaptability and strategic growth in the ever-evolving world of financial services.
