Bulls say / Bears say
Revenue from Moody’s Investors Service surged 25% to $1.26 billion in Q2 2026, driven by broad-based strength in global bond issuance. (Reuters)
Second-quarter profit attributable to Moody’s rose to $878 million ($5.03 per share), up from $578 million ($3.21 per share) a year earlier, highlighting strong bottom-line leverage. (Reuters)
Moody’s returned approximately $2.5 billion to shareholders in the first half of 2026 through $2.2 billion of share repurchases and $365 million of dividends, underscoring robust free cash flow generation. (SEC)
Reaffirmed full-year 2026 guidance calls for Moody’s revenue growth in the high-single-digit percent range and narrowed adjusted EPS to $16.50–$17.00, trailing the $16.78 consensus midpoint, suggesting a modest outlook despite recent strength. (SEC)
Investors remain cautious as market volatility, private credit concerns and geopolitical uncertainty could pressure bond issuance volumes and constrain Moody’s Investors Service revenue growth. (Reuters)
CEO Robert Fauber sold 1,467 shares worth $665,533 on June 1, 2026, at a P/E ratio of 32.3, signaling potential management unease over the stock’s current valuation. (Reuters)
