What the Analysts think about MSCI

Analyst projections of the future price of MSCI stock.
Bulls say / Bears say
MSCI’s recurring model is still growing strongly: Q3 operating revenue rose 12.4%, organic subscription run-rate growth was 8.7%, and retention improved to 95.0%. That combination supports earnings visibility. (MSCI Inc.)
The Index franchise has strong momentum: organic subscription run-rate growth was 11.7%, while MSCI-linked equity ETFs took in $76 billion in Q3 and reached $2.9 trillion in assets. This expands the opportunity for subscription and asset-based fees. (MSCI Inc.)
Private Capital Solutions offers a growth engine beyond Index: its subscription run-rate grew 19% in Q3, and MSCI reported record recurring net-new sales in both Private Capital Solutions and Analytics. This broadens the sources of growth across the business. (The Motley Fool)
Sustainability remains a weak spot: organic subscription run-rate growth was just 2.4%, with elevated cancellations and a sizeable client downsell. Management expects Q4 recurring net-new sales in Sustainability and Climate to be roughly flat to slightly positive. (The Motley Fool)
Index fees face market and fee-rate pressure: MSCI’s average fee on linked equity ETFs fell to 2.28 basis points from 2.41 a year earlier, despite higher linked assets. Because asset-based fees depend on AUM, weaker markets or continued fee dilution could constrain this revenue stream. (MSCI Inc.)
Costs and financing are rising: management expects 2026 expenses at the top of its guidance range and lifted interest expense guidance to $288–$291 million after higher revolver borrowing to support buybacks. This could limit how much revenue growth reaches earnings. (The Motley Fool)
