Moody's Corporation

Moody's Corporation is a US company offering credit ratings, research, data and risk analytics services. Its shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker MCO.

The company consists of two main businesses. Moody's Ratings assigns credit ratings to the debt instruments of companies, banks, governments, municipalities and structured finance products. This business's income depends largely on fees that issuers pay for ratings and on monitoring agreements, so it is sensitive to bond issuance volumes. Moody's Analytics provides banks, insurers and companies with credit risk data, economic research, company information databases and risk management software; a significant part of this business's income comes from recurring subscriptions.

For credit rating agencies, bond issuance volumes, the interest rate environment, credit spreads, regulatory oversight and subscription growth in analytics products are watched. The MCO page on Lzzo.com shows the price in US dollars and also calculates the Turkish lira, euro or pound sterling equivalent. A price history chart, technical indicators, the data source and the time of the last update are also on the page.
