Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning MSCI Stock In The Last 10 Years

RBC Capital Markets analyst Ashish Sabadra reiterated the Outperform rating on MSCI Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSCI#NYSE">MSCI</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/MSCI/analyst-ratings">with a price forecast of $675</a>.
Yesterday, the firm reported fourth-quarter revenue growth of 7.7% year-on-year to $743.5 million, missing the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43302537/msci-q4-earnings-beats-eps-estimates-boosts-dividend-125-esg-and-index-revenues-drive-growth-higher-margins-and-14-billion-free-cash-flow-projection">analyst consensus estimate of $744.8 million</a>. The adjusted EPS of $4.18 beat the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/earnings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">analyst consensus estimate of $3.95</a>. The total run rate on December 31, 2024, rose 8.8% Y/Y to $2.92 billion. 
The analyst notes that the stock is facing pressure because MSCI expects some retention issues, challenges with European active asset managers, and hasn&#8217;t clarified pricing increases for 2025.
However, per Sabadra, MSCI&#8217;s management is being conservative. The analyst anticipates that net new subscription growth will accelerate to double digits in 2025, which could drive the stock higher.
The improvement in the sales pipeline is attributed to increased confidence from higher market and AUM levels, leading to higher revenues for asset managers.

This has positively influenced their budgets and purchasing behaviors, resulting in shorter sales cycles, although geographic and client segment variations exist.
Sabadra sees this trend indicating solid growth potential for FY25 and beyond. The analyst notes that MSCI reported higher cancellations in real assets, continuing pressure from client events and budget constraints.
In the fourth quarter, the analyst highlighted the impact of a large down sale from a pressured client, along with softness in brokers and agents due to vendor consolidation, leading to weakness in data and property intelligence products.
However, retention rates with asset managers remain strong at around 94%, the analyst highlights.
MSCI is encouraged by early signs of capital re-entering the space, especially with institutional money returning to the Americas and Europe, which could signal increased future activity as equity markets remain strong, Sabadra notes.
Price Action: MSCI shares are trading lower by 0.17% to $592.03 at last check Thursday.

MSCI Management Is Conservative, Analyst Sees Strong Momentum In 2025

MSCI's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSCI#NYSE">MSCI</a>) short percent of float has fallen 5.74% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 773 thousand shares sold short, which is 1.15% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.9 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>MSCI Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1738262713_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for MSCI has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing MSCI's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, MSCI's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.26%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

MSCI shares are trading lower following a Q4 revenue miss.

Caution dominates Wednesday's midday trading session in New York as investors anxiously await the Federal Open Market Committee decision <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/interest-rates">at 2 p.m. ET</a>.
The Fed is widely expected to keep interest rates unchanged at 4.25%-4.5%. Market participants remain highly focused on any signals from Fed Chair Jerome Powell regarding the path forward for rate cuts.
The December meeting delivered a shock to markets, with Powell adopting a more hawkish tone than anticipated, suggesting that interest rates have moved closer to a neutral zone.
This FOMC meeting is also the first since Donald Trump's administration took office, fueling speculation over whether Powell will address questions about the president's pledge to &#8220;lower interest rates immediately.&#8221;
Major equity indices are little changed, with tech stocks under slight pressure as Nvidia Corp.

(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) will report earnings after the close, with investors awaiting management clarity over the DeepSeek AI competitive threat.
Among sectors, financial stocks — tracked by the Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLF#NYSE">XLF</a>) — hit fresh record highs, while communication services are on pace for their eighth consecutive session of gains.
The dollar and Treasury yields remain mostly flat ahead of the Fed's announcement. Commodities are mixed, with gold and oil down 0.4% and 0.9%, respectively, while silver and copper rise 1.2% and 1.1%.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) is up 1% to $102,300, potentially snapping a four-session losing streak.

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning MSCI Stock In The Last 5 Years

MSCI Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSCI#NYSE">MSCI</a>) had reported a revenue beat amid <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41601664/msci-touts-strong-subscription-growth-ceo-says-q3s-recurring-sales-were-best-ever">strong third-quarter results</a>.
With buy-side purchasing conditions beginning to improve, there is likely to be a "reacceleration in overall organic revenue growth in 2025 and valuation upside in MSCI shares," according to Goldman Sachs.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5a830846ec829d0001f35b46/george-tong">Analyst George Tong</a> upgraded the rating for MSCI from Neutral to Buy, while raising the price target from $617 to $723.
The MSCI Thesis: While global fund outflows from active managers stabilized exiting the third quarter, active equity funds in the US experienced inflows after the Presidential elections due to "policy-related rotations, Tong said in the upgrade note.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
The positive momentum in global new fund formation is likely to continue into 2025 "due to a broadening of stock returns beyond the large cap tech sector under a Trump administration," he added.
"We expect ESG organic revenue growth to reaccelerate in 2025, as well, driven by increased ESG visibility in the US post-election allowing fund managers to lean into strategies that will still see tailwinds in a Trump policy environment, and by regulatory tailwinds from SFDR (Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation) in the EU that has already prompted sizable ESG equity inflows," the analyst wrote.
"Against this backdrop of strengthening buy-side conditions, we see attractive upside potential in MSCI shares driven by EPS growth in 2025/2026 that comes above consensus expectations and valuation multiple expansion," he further wrote.
Price Action: Shares of MSCI had risen by 0.63% to $615.38 at the time of publication on Wednesday.

This Dow Analyst Turns Bullish; Here Are Top 5 Upgrades For Wednesday

Goldman Sachs analyst George Tong upgrades MSCI (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSCI#NYSE">MSCI</a>) from Neutral to Buy and raises the price target from $617 to $723.

Goldman Sachs Upgrades MSCI to Buy, Raises Price Target to $723

The U.S. has the world&#8217;s largest companies by market capitalization and about two-thirds of the MSCI World Index is dominated by companies based out of America.
What Happened: U.S.-based companies ranking among the world&#8217;s top ten firms by market capitalization include Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>), Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), and Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>).
These magnificent seven firms along with Broadcom are the beneficiaries of the U.S. tech and AI boom. The remaining two non-U.S. firms that make up the top ten include Saudi Arabian Oil Co and Taiwan Semiconductor Mfg Co Ltd (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSMC#NYSE">TSMC</a>).
According to an X post by Kevin Gordon, director and senior investment strategist at Charles Schwab, &#8220;Such an imbalance has not been seen since the late 1980s.&#8221; The data shared by him shows nine out of the top ten companies by market capitalization were based out of the U.S. in the 1980s.
"…the US, with 4% of the world's population, roughly a quarter of global GDP and a third of global profits, now accounts for more than two-thirds of the MSCI World index's capitalization. Such an imbalance has not been seen since the late 1980s…,&#8221; he said.

Why It Matters: Additionally, the top ten constituents in the MSCI World index are U.S.-based firms. This index captures 1,397 large and mid-cap companies across 23 developed markets.
According <a href="https://www.msci.com/documents/10199/178e6643-6ae6-47b9-82be-e1fc565ededb">to</a> MSCI&#8217;s latest release, dated Nov. 29, the U.S. has a weightage of 73.92% in the index, followed by Japan with 5.23%, the United Kingdom with 3.44%, Canada with 3.1% and France with 2.5%.
The index has the highest exposure of 25.29% to information technology companies, followed by 16.3% to financial firms.
