Moody's Corporation remains a high-quality, cash-generative franchise, but its current 28-30x P/E valuation is difficult to justify. Q3 '26 results confirm slowing revenue growth (1%) and declining transaction revenues (-5%), with earnings guidance intact but below market expectations. AI is a useful tool for MCO but does not warrant the current valuation premium; the business remains fundamentally sound with limited operational risks.
