The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fourth-quarter earnings is pegged at $3.29 per share, unchanged in the past 30 days, suggesting 15.85% year-over-year growth.
The consensus mark for revenues is pegged at $657.16 million, indicating an increase of 14.05% year over year.
MSCI’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in all the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 5.2%.
Let’s see how things have shaped up for the upcoming announcement.
Factors Likely to Have Influenced Q4 Performance
MSCI’s fourth-quarter 2023 results are expected to have benefited from robust recurring revenues and the increasing integration of Climate and ESG solutions in the investment process.
MSCI’s focus on expanding into new areas like index services, analytics, ESG and Climate solutions and real assets is expected to have driven growth in its customer base in the to-be-reported quarter.
The company’s recent acquisition of Burgiss and Trove Research is expected to have enhanced its investment solutions to cater to diverse asset classes and align with market demands. These acquisitions are expected to make a positive contribution to MSCI's fourth-quarter performance.
The deal with Burgiss is expected to have contributed an estimated fourth-quarter revenues of $22-$24 million.
The Burgiss acquisition has enhanced MSCI's private asset capabilities, while Trove's integration is expected to have strengthened its position in the voluntary carbon market, bolstering MSCI's overall growth trajectory.
Ongoing market volatility, lower spending by clients and the negative impact of global economic uncertainties are expected to have hurt results in the to-be-reported quarter.
