What People Are Saying About Morningstar

  • Strong Revenue Growth: Revenue is rising at a mid‑ to high‑single‑digit pace for full‑year 2025 and accelerated in early 2026, with organic gains supported by core franchises. Growth is led by Morningstar Credit alongside steady contributions from PitchBook and the Morningstar Direct Platform.
  • Profitability: Operating results show clear momentum into 2026, with strong year‑over‑year increases in operating income and per‑share earnings indicating operating leverage. Margin expansion reflects mix benefits and disciplined execution.
  • Diversified Revenue Streams: Multiple engines—Morningstar Credit, PitchBook, the Morningstar Direct Platform, and Morningstar Retirement—are contributing to growth rather than a single product or geography. This breadth supports durability even as individual segments cycle.
