On October 10, 2025, Moody's Corporation (MCO) closed at $484.10, down 1.70%, and subsequently fell further to $474.20 (-2.05%) amid significant regulatory and macroeconomic developments. The decline is driven by the SEC fining Moody's and other credit rating agencies a combined $49 million for recordkeeping failures, as well as Moody's own downgrade of the U.S. credit rating to Aa1, which has heightened investor concerns about regulatory scrutiny and sector headwinds. These events have triggered a sharp selloff and increased volatility, with technical indicators reflecting a short-term bearish outlook. The news is widely covered by financial news outlets and is considered highly significant for the stock.
