Powerlytics + S&P Global: Advancing Credit Risk Insights for the Private Market
Published 21st Oct 2025Traditional credit models often struggle to accurately assess private companies, especially when reliable financial data isn’t available. These gaps can lead to misjudged risk, missed opportunities, and less confidence in decision-making.
With the right data strategy, lenders and analysts can replace assumptions with precision. By leveraging Powerlytics’s anonymized financial data on millions of U.S. private businesses, S&P Global Market Intelligence enhanced its RiskGauge™ model to deliver deeper, more accurate insights, even without public disclosures.
As Moody Hadi, Head of Credit Analytics and New Product Development at S&P Global Market Intelligence, noted:
“The addition of Powerlytics data allowed us to capture much more granular differences in performance among private firms, improving the overall predictive power of our model.”
It’s a powerful example of how smarter data transforms the way financial institutions understand and manage risk.
