what happened

Moody's Corporation, based in New York City, is set to report quarterly results on October 21 for the period ending September 30, 2026. According to Earnings Preview, citing LSEG data, analysts expect revenue of $2.077 billion, up 3.5% from $2.01 billion a year earlier. The mean earnings forecast from 19 analysts is $4.26 per share.

The average analyst rating is "buy": 19 analysts rate the stock "strong buy" or "buy" and 7 rate it "hold." The median 12-month price target is $560, about 15.4% above the last close of $485.07. The mean earnings estimate has not changed over the past three months.

why it matters

Moody's has beaten LSEG consensus EPS estimates in each of the last eight quarters, with the June 2026 quarter showing a 10.4% surprise. The report will test whether that run continues and will offer a read on demand for the company's ratings and analytics, which matters for financial-sector sentiment.
