Factors to Note
MSCI’s first-quarter 2022 results are expected to have benefited from the increasing uptake of climate and ESG solutions in the investment process. Top-line growth is expected to reflect strong demand for custom and factor index modules.
MSCI’s expanding portfolio of climate tools has been noteworthy. Availability of carbon emissions data for more than 15,000 private companies and nearly 4,000 active private equity and debt funds, in addition to carbon emission data it provides on nearly 10,000 public companies, has been a key catalyst driving demand for these tools.
Strong adoption of climate data insights, physical and transition risk models, implied temperature rise measures, net zero tracker, and TCFD-aligned and other reporting tools is expected to have driven top-line growth in the to-be-reported quarter.
The company’s focus on expanding into new areas like Wealth Management, Insurers, Derivatives, case funds, broker dealers and ESG & Climate is expected to have driven growth in the customer base in the to-be-reported quarter.
Per the Zacks model, the combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat.
