what happened
Index provider MSCI, according to Reuters, was up 5.8% at $596.35 a share in morning trading. The rise followed its third-quarter report, which showed adjusted earnings per share of $5.11, above the $5.02 expected by analysts polled by LSEG.
Operating revenue climbed 12.4% to $892 million, ahead of an estimate of $885.8 million. CEO Henry Fernandez said the company posted record asset-based fees for the quarter and its best-ever third-quarter recurring net new sales in the Index segment. “We have seen robust demand for both our traditional and newer solutions,” he said.
why it matters
Investors and asset managers widely use MSCI indexes to benchmark portfolios, and exchange-traded funds are built on them. Growth in fees and sales in the index business therefore matters for the wider market data sector. According to Reuters, the stock was up about 4% year to date, including intraday moves.
