morningstar grows internationally

I interviewed Morningstar’s CEO Joe Mansueto last year (part 1, part 2, part 3) & now it looks like their focus on their international operations is paying off. James Miller wrote this Overseas growth lifts Morningstar in the Chicago Tribune. I’m always glad to see Chicago area firms do well internationally, especially when I’ve interviewed the CEO, but I’d appreciate more detail. I realize in earnings reports companies only divulge as much as they’re required by the SEC, but I’d really like more information on how they did it. If they weren’t doing well, I could understand why they wouldn’t want to give anything away, but since they’re doing well, I just wish they’d share a bit more.
