What the company does Moody’s Corporation operates as an integrated risk assessment firm through Moody’s Analytics (MA) and Moody’s Investors Service (MIS). MA provides credit research, analytics, and structured finance solutions, while MIS publishes credit ratings and assessment services for debt obligations and entities.
Key financials Moody’s reports strong profitability with ROE 76.9%, ROA 15.6%, and ROCE 30.9%. Margins are robust: gross 75.0%, operating 49.5%, and net 34.2%. Revenue growth is 8.9% and EPS growth is 21.3%, with a Piotroski F-Score of 8/9.
Stock health The stock shows mixed momentum: 3m +9.51%, 6m +4.50%, 12m -0.85%, and -9.80% from its 52-week high. RSI(14) is 47.60, indicating neutral momentum. Beta is 1.33, reflecting higher volatility than the market.
Price vs fair value The stock trades at a **discount of 14.40%** to the analyst mean target of 560.48. - Discount reflects valuation percentile 25.1/100 and high P/E 32.63 (fwd 29.50). - Recent credit rating action (Baa1 for Ignitis Group) supports MIS segment strength. - Upstart’s decline highlights sector volatility, potentially pressuring sentiment.
Looking forward Forward P/E of 29.50 and PEG of 2.78 suggest growth is priced at a premium. Analysts may weigh sustained revenue growth (8.9%) and high margins against valuation concerns. Credit rating demand and analytics adoption remain key catalysts.
