MSCI Revenue Climbs 9.1% in Q2 2025

(NYSE:MSCI), a leading provider of financial indexes, analytics, and investment decision support tools, announced its Q2 FY2025 results on July 22, 2025. The company reported adjusted earnings per share of $4.17, slightly above analyst estimates, and revenue of $772.7 million, just ahead of expectations. Margins expanded, with the operating margin (GAAP) up a full percentage point year-over-year to 55.0%. However, new recurring subscription sales slowed in Q2 2025, and the company acknowledged caution in some product lines, particularly for ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) and climate-related products. Overall, the quarter showed stable growth in core segments and strong underlying fee-based revenue, but softer new business and higher cancellations suggest a moderating pace in parts of the business.
