Model update: remain Overweight

We are updating our SPGI model to reflect the $20m expense that SPGI will incur in 1Q18 following a contribution to the S&P Global Foundation. The expense will be recorded in SPGI's unallocated expenses. As a result, we have lowered our adjusted EPS forecast by 2.9% in 1Q18 and by 0.7% in FY18. Our other forecasts are unchanged. Our valuation and price target remain at $210 and we retain our Overweight recommendation.
