MSCI (MSCI - Free Report) is set to report third-quarter 2021 results on Oct 26.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for its third-quarter earnings has increased 0.4% to $2.39 per share over the past 30 days, suggesting 8.6% growth from the figure reported in the year-ago quarter.
The consensus mark for revenues is pegged at $504.5 million, indicating an increase of 18.6% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
The company’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in three of the trailing four quarters, missing the same in one, the earnings surprise being 8.2%, on average.
Let’s see how things are shaping up for the upcoming announcement.
Factors to Note
MSCI’s third-quarter 2021 results are expected to have benefited from the increasing uptake of ESG solutions in the investment process. Top-line growth is expected to reflect strong demand for custom and factor index modules.
The company’s focus on expanding into new areas like Wealth Management, Insurers, Derivatives and ESG & Climate are expected to have driven growth in customer base in third-quarter 2021.
MSCI’s strong recurring-revenue model has been a key catalyst. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Index Recurring Subscription Run Rate is pegged at $668 million, indicating growth of 11.5% from the figure reported in the year-ago quarter.
Notably, assets under management in Equity ETFs linked to MSCI indexes were $1.34 trillion at the end of third-quarter 2021, unchanged from the figure reported at the end of second-quarter 2021.
