When does Moody's Corporation (MCO) report earnings? During market hours in 12 of its last 12 reports

Of its last 12 earnings announcements: 12 during market hours. Each one comes from the 8-K with item 2.02 that Moody's filed with the SEC, paired with the 10-Q or 10-K for that same quarter: 67 quarters since Jul 29, 2009, and every row links to its filing.

Next date: the one MCO had announced, Oct 21, 2026, has already happened and its 8-K is filed (below). There is no further date yet inside the calendar this site covers (Oct 21, 2026 to Nov 24, 2026).

The latest, still without a report

• Oct 21, 2026, Wednesday at 06:57 New York time (before the open). see the 8-K

It is this company's most recent 8-K with item 2.02 and it does not yet have its 10-Q or 10-K behind it, so there is no way to say which quarter it belongs to: it does not enter the figures above or the table, and for the same reason it might not be an earnings announcement at all (some companies use this same item for production figures or monthly sales).

The last 20 quarters, one by one

"Lead": trading sessions between the announcement and the full quarterly report to the SEC (10-Q, or 10-K at fiscal year end). For Moody's, a median of 1 session over the last 12 quarters.

The table shows the 20 most recent quarters. All 67 are in the CSV, with the same columns and one row per quarter.

How Moody's shares moved on their latest earnings

Over the 8 announcements with prices in this table, MCO rose 5 times and fell 3 times; the median move, ignoring sign, was 3.2%, against 0.7% for SPY over the same windows. The largest, +6.5%, came with the results of Feb 18, 2026. Reported EPS beat the consensus estimate in 5 of the 5 quarters with an estimate.

MCO window: when it reported before the open or during market hours, from the previous close to that day's. Split-adjusted closes and EPS with its estimate, from Yahoo Finance. It already happened: it does not anticipate the next announcement.

Where each number comes from

From the 8-K with item 2.02 ("Results of Operations and Financial Condition") that Moody's filed on EDGAR, the SEC's public database; only those with their 10-Q or 10-K behind them count, so other 8-Ks with the same item (production figures, monthly sales) stay out. The time is converted to New York time using this specific company's stamp convention (its EDGAR stamp arrives in UTC), and it is not assumed: it was read off the filing's official header.

What this data does not know

• The exact time of the press release: the 8-K reaches EDGAR minutes or hours later, so Moody's's median 10:59 is an upper bound. The session says which one the news landed in, not what minute it was said.
• Nothing before Jul 29, 2009: it is Moody's's oldest quarter with announcement and report paired in the file.
• What will happen. Every date on the page already happened. Moody's reporting during market hours 67 quarters in a row does not say the next one will be the same.
• Moody's's identity is its SEC CIK (0001059556), not its symbol: symbols get recycled and renamed.
