Jeffrey Silber’s rating is based on several compelling factors that suggest a positive outlook for Morningstar’s stock. The company’s recent performance in the second quarter of 2025 demonstrated notable strengths, particularly in the Structured Credit segment, which outperformed industry trends with a 14% year-over-year increase.

Despite some challenges such as higher client attrition and management changes, the overall diversity and strategic assets of Morningstar present a promising investment opportunity. The company’s unique approach to investor relations and concentrated founder ownership further contribute to its potential for future growth.
