Is MSCI stock undervalued or overvalued?

Valuing MSCI stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of MSCI's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.

Operating margin TTM 54.41%
Gross profit TTM $1.8 billion
Return on assets TTM 16.66%

MSCI share dividends

45%

Dividend payout ratio: 44.58% of net profits

Recently MSCI has paid out, on average, around 44.58% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.03% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), MSCI shareholders could enjoy a 1.03% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In MSCI's case, that would currently equate to about $5.26 per share.

While MSCI's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that MSCI may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.

MSCI's most recent dividend payout was on 30 August 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 9 August 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").

MSCI share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, MSCI's shares have ranged in value from as little as $380.9617 up to $568.0126. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

MSCI.US volatility(beta: 1.13)Avg. volatility(beta: 1.00)LowHigh

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while MSCI's is 1.13. This would suggest that MSCI's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
