Reports Q4 revenue $690.1M, consensus $662.73M. “MSCI delivered impressive results to close out 2023, despite continued external headwinds. In Q4, we achieved Adjusted EPS growth of nearly 30%, and organic revenue growth of 14.7%. Operationally, we completed our 10th consecutive year of double-digit subscription run-rate growth in Index, while achieving our highest-ever full-year retention rate in Analytics, along with our best quarter and full year on record for recurring sales in Equity Analytics,” said CEO Henry Fernandez. “We continue to capitalize on important secular trends that are reshaping the global investment landscape, such as rising demand for portfolio customization at scale. Looking ahead, MSCI remains committed to making organic investments and bolt-on acquisitions that add value, while returning excess capital to our owners through share buybacks and dividend payments. As always, we will balance our long-term strategic investments with our commitment to rigorous financial management and short-term execution.”
