Analysis

Hope premium

MSCI Inc. is priced well ahead of what the underlying numbers justify, a pattern we describe as a hope premium.

On valuation, the picture is expensive. The owner-earnings multiple stands at 30.9×; owner earnings: the cash an owner could take out each year. The implied growth embedded in that price is around 12% a year, against analyst forecasts of 14%. The price, in other words, assumes less than the experts do.

Growth is moderate; the safety picture is stretched. The company scores 18/20 on our value-creation score: strong value creator.

Flags to be aware of: A large part of the company's book value is the price paid for past acquisitions. As always: this describes the company's numbers; it is not a recommendation.
