The quarter ending September 30, 2026, against the same quarter a year earlier.
MSCI Inc.’s own guidance, from its results release of October 20, 2026. It is the company’s statement of what it expects, not a forecast of ours.
| Measure | 3 months toSep 30, 2026 | 3 months toSep 30, 2025 | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total Revenue | $892M | $793.4M | +12.43% |
| Profit | $351M | $325.3M | +7.90% |
| Profit per share | $4.86 | $4.25 | +14.35% |
| Free Cash Flow | $422.7M | $445.4M | -5.10% |
These are single quarters, not a trailing year — the figures elsewhere on this site cover twelve months and will be much larger. A seasonal business swings a long way between the two: ServiceNow earns $2.0B of free cash flow in its December quarter and $0.5B in its June one.
Compared against the same quarter a year earlier, not against an analyst forecast. A “beat” or “miss” needs a consensus estimate, which is licensed data we do not carry — and getting it wrong is worse than leaving it out.
A short summary of each call — what the quarter showed, what management expects and whether they delivered on what they said last time — with the full transcript underneath.

“In the third quarter MSCI delivered strong financial and operating metrics, including our best-ever recurring net-new sales in Analytics and Private Capital Solutions, our best-ever Q3 recurring net-new sales in Index, and another record quarter for asset-based fees. Among client segments and regions, we achieved our best-ever quarter both with asset owners and in Asia-Pacific,”

Releases land before the open or after the close, so the window runs from the close before the report day to the close of the session after it — the reaction is inside it either way.
