OVERALL SCORE: 6.3/10

Context and risks

The rise in 10-year Treasury yields (5.17%) and expectations of higher-for-longer rates in the US pressure MSCI's valuation, whose shares trade at a P/E of 30.11 (score 1.8). As a long-duration company, the increase in the discount rate reduces the present value of its future cash flows.
