McGraw Hill Financial Inc. has agreed to sell J.D. Power, known for its ratings on auto makers and other industries, for $1.1 billion to investment firm XIO Group.
In October, McGraw Hill said it would explore alternatives for J.D. Power. At the time, people familiar with the matter said it could attract a valuation of around $1 billion.
XIO Group, whose operations include London, Hong Kong and Shanghai offices, said the deal is its first for a U.S.-based company. In October, XIO bought Nasdaq-listed Israeli medical-laser company Lumenis Ltd. for about $510 million.
The J.D. Power deal is slated to close during the third quarter.
McGraw Hill Financial's brands include Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, S&P Global Market Intelligence, S&P Dow Jones Indices and Platts.
In October, McGraw Hill said "we have increased our focus on capital and commodity markets and believe that J.D. Power could be more valuable to a company in the market research and consumer analytics space." The company said Friday it "will now be even more focused on financial intelligence businesses with a common set of attributes."
McGraw Hill Financial is preparing to change its name to S&P Global Inc., a symbolic move that underscores the firm's shift away from its publishing roots. The company's data-focused moves have included a $2.2 billion purchase of SNL Financial LC.
In recent years, McGraw Hill has sold off divisions producing textbooks, trade publications and magazines.
