State Street completed the acquisition of PriceStats, a global leader in daily inflation analytics, on November 10 2025. PriceStats gathers price data from more than 1,500 retailers worldwide and delivers real‑time inflation measures that complement traditional government indicators. The deal adds a proven data platform that has been part of State Street’s Markets research suite since 2011.
The integration will feed into State Street Data Intelligence, broadening the firm’s data‑driven offerings for institutional investors, economists, and central banks. Near‑real‑time inflation insights will enhance the Alpha platform and other client‑facing tools, giving clients deeper market context and improving investment decision making.
The transaction aligns with State Street’s strategy to become a technology‑enabled financial services provider. By adding high‑frequency inflation data, the firm can offer more comprehensive market intelligence, potentially creating new revenue streams and reinforcing client relationships. The acquisition builds on a long‑standing partnership that began in 2011, which has already integrated PriceStats’ methodology into State Street’s research platform.
State Street’s recent financial performance underscores the strategic fit. In the third quarter of 2025, the company reported earnings per share of $2.78, beating consensus estimates of $2.64 and driving a revenue increase of 8.8% year‑over‑year. The company’s assets under custody and administration reached $51.7 trillion, and assets under management stood at $5.4 trillion as of September 30 2025. These results demonstrate robust profitability and a strong balance sheet that support further investment in data and analytics.
Management highlighted the growing demand for near‑real‑time economic data. Will Kinlaw, head of State Street Data Intelligence, said that the recent period of rapidly changing inflation has underscored the need for tech‑driven, low‑latency indicators. The acquisition positions State Street to deliver a range of advanced economic metrics around prices, employment, and other key variables, reinforcing its competitive advantage in the data‑analytics market.
Market reaction to the announcement has been positive, driven by the company’s strong earnings beat, revenue growth, and strategic focus on data and technology. Analysts noted that the acquisition complements State Street’s existing data capabilities and signals confidence in the firm’s ability to generate future revenue from high‑frequency inflation analytics.
