Jun 19, 2026, 12:00 amThis summary was created by AI, based on 6 opinions in the last 12 months.
MSCI Inc. is recognized as a leading provider of international-focused indices and data services, benefiting significantly from the growth of ETFs and rising investor interest in global markets. Although its shares have recently sold off due to concerns surrounding active versus passive investment strategies, the company maintains high margins and strong free cash flows. Analysts highlight its diverse offerings, including a substantial number of indices and innovative products in alternative asset classes and ESG. The recurring revenue streams and the strategic buyback of shares further bolster its appeal, indicating confidence in its long-term growth prospects despite its current valuation being regarded as not cheap.
David Burrows
On the list of great companies to own when they get beaten up. Problem now is it's run a lot, expensive multiple. Great data service provider. Sector's done well. If you own it, trim a bit and take some profits. He owns Blackrock (BLK) in the sector, which has long-term growth and a lower multiple.
This is one of his largest positions in their portfolio. He believes in active investment management, however, the world of ETFs is a juggernaut. This company makes custom indices for its clients. This success is likely to continue. He would buy it here.
David Burrows(A Top Pick May 28/18 Up 7%) The compiler of stock indices. An 84% percent annualized return thus far, he says. It is a great company, because it is capital light, great returns on equity and the revenue continues to grow ($1.8 billion last year). Not a cheap stock and the technical chart is a work of art, he says.
Wolfgang KleinIt has been trading on 52 week high, has positive earning upgrades and all around good news. He pays them a fee for the proprietary use of their data. This is really a data company. The PE at the low to mid-20s is not bad with growth in the 30% range – a good ratio. Defensive in a down turn. Trade it knowing it is near the cycle top.
A little-known financial services company. Not a cheap valuation, but you pay for quality. It has an amazing chart. They have little competition. You play the financial markets without buying a fiancial. They have a lot of runway ahead of them. (Analysts' price target: $152.17)

This company does ratings and builds indices. It can create custom indices for almost anything. It benefits from the boom in ETF's and Index funds and receives license fees. It trades at 45X earnings but as a growth stock it has done well. You could buy on the recent pullback.
