Moody's (MCO) Declines 4.02% in After-Hours Trading Amid Broad Market Sell-Off

Moody's shares dropped 4.02% to close at $517.25 amid a broad market sell-off triggered by President Trump's escalating trade tensions and tariff threats against European allies. The decline reflects systemic market stress rather than company-specific headwinds, which analysts from Stifel and Goldman Sachs recently upgraded.

• The broad risk-off sentiment saw the S&P 500 decline 1.97% and the NASDAQ fall 2.06%.
• The market stress was initiated by tariff threats starting at 10% in February and escalating to 25% by June.
• Despite the drop, analysts project strong fundamentals, anticipating 2026 EPS of $16.46, an 11.8% increase year-over-year.
