On October 13, 2025, Moody's Corporation (MCO) closed at $473.72, down 2.14% from the previous session, following significant regulatory and macroeconomic developments. The SEC fined Moody's and other major credit rating agencies a combined $49 million for recordkeeping failures, and Moody's itself downgraded the U.S. credit rating to Aa1, sparking investor concerns and heightened volatility. These events triggered a sharp intraday selloff, with MCO's price declining from an intraday high of $487.91 to $470.46, reflecting direct market reaction to regulatory scrutiny and sector headwinds. Technical indicators point to a short-term bearish bias, with traders closely watching support levels and options activity. No other major company-specific news was reported, and the price movement is primarily attributed to these regulatory and credit rating actions.
