AI brief of an SEC Form 8-K · Moody's (MCO)

Moody's Q3 revenue rises 11% to $2.0 billion; raises 2025 adjusted EPS outlook

Positive Impact 4 of 5 earnings Written later

Moody's reported third-quarter 2025 revenue of $2.0 billion, up 11% from a year earlier, and diluted EPS of $3.60, up 23%. The company raised its full-year 2025 adjusted diluted EPS guidance to $14.50 to $14.75, and its board authorized an additional $4 billion in share repurchases, which may matter to shareholders because it signals higher expected earnings and more capital returned to holders.

Key points

  • Q3 2025 revenue was $2.0 billion, up 11%; adjusted diluted EPS was $3.92, up 22%
  • Full-year 2025 adjusted diluted EPS guidance is now $14.50 to $14.75, versus a projected diluted EPS range of $13.15 to $13.40
  • On October 21, 2025, the board declared a $0.94 quarterly dividend and authorized an additional $4 billion in share repurchases
  • Operating cash flow for the nine months was $2,043 million, down from $2,164 million a year earlier, mainly due to higher tax and incentive compensation payments
