Frequently asked questions
What is Moodys Corporation's revenue?
Moodys Corporation's trailing twelve-month revenue is $7.87B, and consensus projects about $11.31B by 2030. Revenue is the top line the whole model builds on, and at this scale the question shifts from how fast it grows to whether margins hold as it compounds.
How profitable is MCO?
In its most recent fiscal year, MCO ran a gross margin of 68.15%, an operating margin of 44.77%, and a net margin of 31.86%. Margins this high mean most of each extra dollar of revenue drops through to profit, which is the signature of real pricing power.
How much free cash flow does MCO generate?
MCO produced $2.58B in free cash flow in its most recent fiscal year. Free cash flow is what is left after running and reinvesting in the business, and it is the cash that actually funds buybacks, dividends, and a stronger balance sheet.
Is MCO's balance sheet healthy?
MCO holds $2.38B in cash and equivalents against $6.99B in long-term debt, on $4.05B of shareholder equity. That debt is best read against the cash flow the business throws off each year.
