Moody's Corporation (MCO) — Financial Services — Financial Data & Stock Exchanges. MCO is in the S&P 500 today. Model factor scores and market data, recalculated every trading day.

So far in 2026, MCO has returned −0.8% against +11.4% for the S&P 500 (SPY): total return, dividends included on both sides, from Dec 31, 2025 to Nov 3, 2026.

Valuation multiples: P/E, P/B, EV/EBITDA and their trapsWhy the P/E and the price-to-book in the table above cannot be compared across sectors, and what a low P/E can hide.
Value and momentum: the two that have survived bestWhat the value and momentum scores on this page actually measure, and why they are the two factors that have best survived scrutiny.
Quality and low volatilityWhere the quality score comes from, and why it is the factor with the most competing definitions, all of them called the same thing.
