Brean Murray reiterates a 'Buy' on MSCI Inc. (NYSE: MXB). Price target increased to $29.
Brean analyst says, "The company reported a very strong quarter, exceeding our run-rate, revenue and margin forecasts. Equity index business drove the upside in the quarter, as the company saw 2.5% sequential growth in equity index subscriptions and 35.5% sequential growth in asset-based fees. We believe the momentum in ETFs will remain the primary driver of the near-term performance and should compensate for the continued softness in the equity portfolio analytics business. Further, the company continues to widely outperform its adjusted EBITDA margin targets, delivering a 48.8% margin in 2Q09, which was a 300 bp sequential improvement."
