MSCI, Inc. reported strong Q2 2026 results but missed revenue and earnings per share expectations, causing its stock price to drop. The company raised its free cash flow guidance but also increased expense forecasts, raising concerns about profit margins. Despite strong performance in key segments like indexing, high valuation and debt levels limit its ability to buy back shares or make acquisitions. MSCI remains a high-quality business, but the current valuation and growth outlook lead to a 'Hold' rating until further price declines.
