MSCI Inc. stock (ISIN US55354G1004) closed at USD 551.39 on the NYSE on September 8, 2026, after a 3.8 percent drop and a 52-week range of USD 501.08 to USD 644.77. The latest quarterly report on July 21, 2026 showed USD 4.94 EPS on USD 867.0 million in revenue, while analysts expected USD 4.99 EPS and USD 870.71 million in sales.
July's quarter set the tone
According to MarketBeat, MSCI reported USD 4.94 EPS for the quarter ended July 21, 2026, missing the USD 4.99 consensus by USD 0.05. Revenue reached USD 867.0 million and rose 12.2 percent year over year, with net margin at 40.74 percent.
The same report said EPS was up from USD 4.17 in the prior-year quarter. For investors, that combination matters more than the one-day slide, because revenue still grew while the miss remained narrow.
Targets still point higher
According to MarketBeat, JPMorgan Chase & Co. raised its price target on MSCI to USD 742.00 from USD 700.00 and kept an overweight rating on July 20, 2026. Raymond James lifted its target to USD 760.00 from USD 730.00 on July 8, 2026, and MarketBeat's consensus target stood at USD 709.50.
That leaves the stock below several published targets even after the September 8 close of USD 551.39. The gap is 158.11 dollars versus the consensus target of USD 709.50.
Stock ends below 52-week high
MSCI stock finished September 8, 2026 at USD 551.39, leaving it USD 93.38 below the 52-week high of USD 644.77 and USD 50.31 above the low of USD 501.08. The shares traded in that band as investors weighed the latest quarter against still-elevated valuation signals.
