Moody's reports higher second-quarter profit on analytics unit strength
People walk by the New York Stock Exchange, Thursday morning, April 10, 2025. (AP Photo/Richard Drew) Ratings agency Moody's reported a rise in second quarter profit on Wednesday, driven by robust gains in its data and analytics unit and an increase in government borrowing. Demand for market analytical tools rose in the reported quarter as investors sought health checks on Treasury debt issuance amid trade policy and interest rate uncertainties, boosting companies like Moody's. Revenue from the analytics segment, which chiefly depends on a subscription model, climbed 11 per cent to US$888 million in the second quarter. Moody's results are closely watched by traders as a reliable indicator of market sentiment toward debt, given the agency's broad influence across global fixed-income markets. The company's Investors Service business, which issues credit ratings, generated US$1 billion in revenue, matching last year's figure. Profit attributable to Moody's totalled US$578 million, or US$3.21 per share, in the three months ended June 30, compared with US$552 million, or US$3.02 per share, a year earlier. The company narrowed its annual adjusted earnings per share forecast to a range of US$13.50 to US$14, a slight upgrade from its previous outlook of US$13.25 to US$14 per share. Moody's shares, which have gained nearly five per cent so far in 2025, were down marginally in pre-market trading. --- Reporting by Pritam Biswas in Bengaluru; Editing by Tasim Zahid

Oman Raised to Investment Grade by Moody's as Debt Burden Falls
Oman has received its second upgrade to investment grade in less than a year, after Moody's Investors Service raised its sovereign rating from junk. Oman's rating was lifted by one notch to Baa3 — the lowest in investment grade — on Friday, with the agency citing an improvement in the Gulf country's debt profile. The outlook was revised to stable from positive, signaling a change isn't expected in the next 12 months.
