Moody's (MCO) shares fell 4.02% to close at $517.25 amid a broad market selloff triggered by escalating U.S.-European trade tensions, despite strong underlying fundamentals supported by recent analyst upgrades.
- The decline tracked the broader market, with the S&P 500 falling 1.96% and the Nasdaq dropping 1.30% as investors shifted toward safe-haven assets.
- The company's fundamentals are supported by recent analyst upgrades from Stifel and Goldman Sachs, tied to expectations of heavier 2026 debt issuance boosting revenue and earnings.
- The consensus analyst price target remains strong at $566.90, suggesting a 5.8% upside potential from current trading levels.
