History

IHS

Information Handling Services (IHS)[10] "was founded in 1959 as Information Handling Services to provide information for aerospace engineers through microfilm databases".[11]

It subsequently grew to incorporate other companies in the information services sector such as Cambridge Energy Research Associates, Global Insight, Jane's Information Group, Prime Publications Limited, and John S. Herold, Inc.[12]

In 2008, IHS acquired Fairplay, a firm that assigns IMO identification numbers for ships, companies and registered owners.[13]

In 2016, Englewood, Colorado-based IHS and London-based Markit merged. Jerre Stead was chief executive of the pre-merger IHS Inc. from 2006 to 2013 and from 2015 until the merger with Markit.[11]

Markit

Markit was founded in 2003 as Mark-it Partners, a financial data provider for daily credit default swap pricing.[14][15][16] The company grew via joint ventures and by acquiring other companies,[17][18][19][20] merging with IHS in 2016.

S&P Global

On 30 November 2020, S&P Global and IHS Markit released information about a definitive all-stock deal[clarification needed] for around $44 billion, a deal which would be the largest of the year globally, according to Dealogic data.[21][22] On September 9, 2021, GlobalData announced its purchase of the Pricing and Reimbursement dataset from IHS Markit.[23] In December 2021, the IHS Markit announced its intention to sell Base Chemicals to News Corp for a reported $295 million as part of an effort to alleviate concerns about competitive effects.[24] The purchase by S&P Global was finalized on 28 February 2022.[25]
