Consistent Earnings Beat
MSCI Inc. has consistently beaten EPS estimates for the past several quarters, with a positive surprise ranging from 2.10% to 11.85%. This demonstrates a track record of exceeding analyst expectations.
Reasonable P/E for Growth
The TTM P/E ratio of 35.7, while seemingly high, should be considered in conjunction with the company's net income growth. For the period ending 2024Q4, the P/E ratio was 41.6, indicating that investors are willing to pay a premium for its earnings, likely due to its strong market position and growth prospects.
High Forward P/E Ratios
The forward P/E ratios for 2025Q1 (151.1) and 2025Q2 (146.9) are exceptionally high. This suggests that the current stock price is trading at a significant premium to its future earnings expectations, potentially indicating overvaluation.
Slowing Revenue Growth
While net income has shown growth, revenue growth for the periods available (e.g., 2024Q4 revenue of $2.86 billion) indicates a moderating growth trajectory compared to prior years. Detailed year-over-year revenue growth percentages are not directly provided, but the trend in revenue figures suggests slower expansion.
