Inside ownership is 57% - I'm pretty sure they're doing everything they can to get the stock price higher. Within reason. It doesn't hurt that the company is swimming in cash every year (and 3 of the last 4 quarters).

Mutual Fund rating leader, CEO holds 60% of stock

Still a marvelous buying opportunity for one of the finest, most reputable, and among the most financially sound financial firms on Wall Street. This stock should double in price within the next year!

Very brilliant, hard working and visionary CEO, this company is widening its moat by investing seriously in equity research worldwide. 0 debt, high cash, FCF positive. I think people here is really happy to work for this project based on a long term vision.

I've used Morningstar in the past to research investments, they are a solid company with good products. Good investment info is crucial in these turbulent times. I also see that a huge proportion of CAPS members like it to outperform. Near record discount for this proven performer, just take a glance at the high scores on the Scorecard if you have any doubts.

Advising people in Stocks is important. Analyzing Stocks is necessary.

Respected analysis. In good positon to pick up business from other damaged rating agencies.

One of Toms picks - He seems to be on the right track.

People will always pay for objective advice. Though profits have dropped, along with everyone else, these shares are oversold. People see them as a rating agency stock, though they are not at all involved in this area. Good strong company, have a solid reputation, and people will continue to use their advice, especially once the turmoil has settled. I just wish they paid a dividend.

61% insider owned and 37% institutional owned. Strong EPS growth rate (39%) and revenue growth rate (31%). 0 long term debt. Reasonable PE at 15.93 and PEG rate of 1.17. May not get much cheaper than this!

Selling for 10x FCF and expected to grow at 16.5% over the long-term, possessing a Marianas Trench-like moat 'round its business, and coming off a year of high capex that will not need to repeat (now that it's got new digs), Morningstar cannot help but become a long-term winner. Use the present worries over declining AUM and vanishing revenue from government-mandated independent research as your entry point; profit as Morningstar replaces these revenues with growth elsewhere.

MORNINGSTAR SHOULD IMPROVE ITS EARNING & GROW IF THE OBAMA PLAN IS APRROVED & USED PROPERLY. WATCH & IF THINGS GET GOING ON THE STIMLUS PLAN/BUY & HOLD THEN!!!!!!!
Recs
One of the few strong, mid-cap financial services companies left. Strong brand, cash rich and profitable in this env. Seems like a winner.

With all the Wall Street analysts being laid off, Morningstar will be the place to go. Plus, they don't have any hidden agendas.
