For me, exactly one company, according to my imagination. Like MasterCard and Visa, it's more or less a duopoly (yes, there are other companies, such as AmEx or Fitch, but there's no way around the big 2). No one would even think of setting up a rating agency. After the financial crisis and the rating scandals, Europe wanted to create its own agency to break the American monopoly. Even with such political pressure, it is not possible to create a competitor. Nevertheless, I prefer S&P Global $SPGI and have it in my portfolio, among other things, because S&P is also the largest provider of indices, even ahead of MSCI. The best known index of S&P is of course the S&P 500.

@Mister_ultra will certainly still come. Europe is always too stupid. Should the petrodollar really be destroyed, then the money flows will change massively. Then the one who pays will determine.
