MSCI Inc. has updated its financial outlook for full-year 2025, specifically revising its forecast for interest expense due to recent financing activities. The company now anticipates an interest expense, including the amortization of financing fees, to fall within the range of $205 to $209 million for the year. This marks an increase from the previous guidance of $182 to $186 million. The adjustment follows the issuance of $1.25 billion in 5.25% senior notes due in 2035 in August, which led to the repayment of outstanding borrowings under MSCI's revolving credit facility, elevating the expected debt balance for the year. For the quarter ending September 30, 2025, the interest expense is projected to be approximately $54 to $55 million. Aside from the interest expense update, MSCI is maintaining its earlier full-year 2025 financial guidance as disclosed in its July 2025 earnings release.
