MSCI, a leading provider of critical decision support tools and services for the global investment community, and has recently undergone
significant alterations to its equity indexes. Key changes include the addition of companies such as
Rocket Lab, SoFi, Swiggy, and others in the
World Index and flagship index, while some companies have been removed as in the case of four Turkish firms. Despite the index overhaul and reduction of Taiwan's weighting in two essential indexes, MSCI's trading volume plummeted, causing a sharp drop in its shares. It successfully completed a
$1.25 billion Senior Notes Offering and reportedly used the proceeds for stock buybacks and acquisitions. The company’s Q2 earning beat estimates, but the drop in retentions triggered a stock sell-off, leading to a rating downgrade. Its strong performance continues to shape strategic stock allocation, especially for unique ventures, and its asset appreciation over the past decade is indeed noteworthy. Nevertheless, market reactions toward these developments have been somewhat lukewarm, with the company's share consistently underperforming compared to its competitors.
