Over on CAPS, fully 141 of 150 of the All-Star players who have rated Morningstar -- some 94% -- believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These All-Star bulls include my Foolish colleague Rex Moore (a.k.a. TMFOrangeblood) and slade15342, both of whom are ranked in the top 10% of our community.

In April, Rex noted, "Morningstar has major moats with its brand name and extensive financial databases. I think there will be continued strong growth in almost every area, and we'll see new ways to exploit the brand and databases."

An earlier pitch from slade15342 in February shared that bullish sentiment, drawing comparisons to another familiar stock picker:

Where are the two places that people go for stock analysis on the Internet? The Fool and Morningstar. If these individuals can consistently beat the market year after year with their stock recommendations, then their product is marketable. Which means continued growth.
