At the end of fiscal 2025, MSCI reported total assets of $5.70 billion, up 4.7% from a year earlier against total liabilities of $8.36 billion. Shareholders' equity was negative at -$2.65 billion, meaning liabilities exceed assets; this is often the result of large share buybacks or accumulated losses. The company held $515.3 million in cash and equivalents against $6.20 billion of debt, a net debt position of $5.69 billion.
The current ratio (current assets divided by current liabilities) was 0.90, meaning short-term obligations exceed short-term assets.
