MSCI Inc. (ISIN US55354G1004) scheduled its third-quarter 2026 results for October 20, 2026, while analysts tracked an average target of USD 688.35 for MSCI stock. The results are due before the market opens, according to MSCI in its September 24, 2026 announcement.
Second-quarter growth reached 12.20 percent
MSCI reported USD 867.0 million of revenue in the second quarter of 2026, up 12.20 percent from USD 772.7 million in the second quarter of 2025. Net income rose to USD 342.0 million from USD 303.7 million, while operating margin increased to 56.20 percent from 55.00 percent, according to LineVest on October 3, 2026.
The figures show a business still benefiting from index-linked fees and recurring subscriptions. The same report said subscription revenue increased 11.60 percent and asset-based fees rose 26.60 percent in the second quarter of 2026, giving investors two distinct growth channels to track before the next earnings release.
Analysts see USD 688.35 as average target
Investing.com listed an average 12-month target of USD 688.35 from 18 analysts on October 4, 2026. The page showed 16 Buy ratings, one Hold rating and one Sell rating, alongside a 23.01 percent upside figure calculated against its USD 559.61 reference quote.
That target is a forward market view rather than company guidance. The operating data provide a counterweight: first-half 2026 operating cash flow was USD 677.6 million, while cash dividends and share repurchases exceeded the USD 604.4 million remaining after software and equipment investment, according to LineVest.
MSCI stock carries a dated euro reference
MSCI stock had a prior close of EUR 492.80 at Lang & Schwarz for October 5, 2026. The company had a market capitalization of USD 40.3 billion as of October 6, 2026, while its NYSE listing and ticker MSCI were identified by Finzer.
The scheduled October 20 report should clarify whether the second-quarter mix of index growth, subscriptions and asset-based fees continued into the third quarter. The next release also offers a test of cash conversion after the first-half allocation figures.
