What Mobility Global does

Mobility Global Inc. is a US-headquartered automotive data, analytics, and software provider being spun off from S&P Global as a standalone public company with ticker MBGL, expected to complete its separation by July 1, 2026 through a pro rata distribution to S&P Global shareholders. The company operates a portfolio of subscription-based brands serving suppliers, OEMs, dealers, and consumers across the global vehicle lifecycle: CARFAX (vehicle history reports and data services), Polk Automotive Solutions (market intelligence), automotiveMastermind (dealer analytics and customer intelligence), Market Scan (transaction and pricing data), and FeeSync (a free platform launched in May 2026 for dealers to manage and distribute fee structure data to vendor and agency partners). Its core technology is a proprietary automotive data and analytics platform built on decades of vehicle-level data collection, with the CARFAX vehicle history database and Polk automotive market data representing the most differentiated assets.

The business model is primarily subscription/recurring revenue supplemented by data licensing to automotive industry participants. The go-to-market is enterprise B2B field sales targeting automotive suppliers, OEMs, and dealers globally, with consumer-facing products (notably CARFAX) distributed through dealer integrations and direct consumer channels. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company's competitive narrative centers on the breadth of its data coverage and the brand recognition of CARFAX rather than on disclosed AI or technology differentiation. As part of the spin-off, Mobility Global priced a $2 billion private offering of senior notes, and the separation is positioned to structurally boost operating margins by 270 basis points. The executive team is led by CEO-designate Bill Eager (current President of S&P Global Mobility), Chairman Joe Hinrichs (former CEO of CSX Corporation and Ford executive), and Chief Strategy Officer Martin Metzker (joined from Boston Consulting Group).
