What this company does

Moody's offers insights into financial stability and creditworthiness for organizations, debt instruments, and securities. It has a workforce of approximately 16,000 employees across more than 40 countries. Moody's has two reportable segments: MA and MIS. MA is comprised of a fixed income and economic research business (Research & Insights), a data business (Data & Information), and three cloud-based subscription businesses serving banking, insurance and KYC workflows (Decision Solutions). MIS publishes credit ratings and provides assessment services on a wide range of debt obligations, programs and facilities, and the entities that issue such obligations in markets worldwide, including various corporate, financial institution and governmental obligations, and structured finance securities. For more than 115 years, MIS has provided credit ratings, research, and risk analysis to businesses, governments, and other entities around the globe. Rating fees paid by debt issuers account for most of the revenue of MIS.
