04:15 PM EDT, 10/28/2025 (MT Newswires) -- CFRA, an independent research provider, has provided MT Newswires with the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:

We increase our 12-month target price by $70 to $760, 39.2x our 2026 EPS estimate, a discount to MSCI's ( MSCI ) five-year forward P/E average of 42.6x given a reduced outlook in sustainability and climate. We increase our 2025 EPS view by $0.18 to $17.25 and bump up 2026's by $0.21 to $19.38. MSCI's ( MSCI ) Q3 results were encouraging, effectively addressing concerns from the previous quarter. Most notably, retention rates improved across all four business segments, while new recurring subscription sales rebounded strongly with 5% growth versus the 9% contraction experienced in Q2's challenging sales environment. The outlook appears promising as MSCI ( MSCI ) accelerates product development initiatives. Management's commentary on AI integration was particularly compelling, highlighting expectations for both expense reduction and enhanced growth trajectory. These operational improvements coincide with favorable market conditions, as major indexes trade near all-time highs, creating a supportive backdrop for continued momentum.
