MSCI: This Superior Business Is Finally A Buy
MSCI Inc. is struggling to gain market share in the U.S., but it is the indisputable leader in international markets and benefits from higher inflows. Profitability has room to improve in ESG, climate, and private assets, albeit I expect a smaller contribution to growth from margin expansion than in the past. MSCI will accelerate buybacks with the proceeds from recently issued 5.25% senior notes due 2035, which have increased long-term debt by 27%.

Top 15 High-Growth Dividend Stocks For September 2025
My Top 15 high-growth dividend stocks for September 2025 are collectively 32% undervalued and offer a 1.43% yield with 21.57% five-year dividend growth. The strategy's five-year annualized return is 11.22%, just shy of my 12% target, but it continues to outperform VIG and SPY year-to-date. Rotation in the list brings in DICK'S Sporting Goods, Elevance Health, Intuit, and Marsh & McLennan, replacing stocks that fell below the 12% expected return threshold.
