MCO is trading at $435.50 (+2.9%) in pre-market following its Q4 2025 earnings release, where a significant revenue beat offset a slight earnings miss.
- Reported revenue of $1.9 billion (+13% year-over-year) beat consensus estimates of $1.88 billion, driven by record results from the Moody's Investors Service segment.

- Investor optimism remains high as the company achieved record quarterly performance in its primary growth drivers.
