Moody's Corporation reported record-breaking third-quarter earnings, surpassing both revenue and earnings per share (EPS) forecasts. The company achieved a revenue of $1.81 billion against a forecast of $1.71 billion and an adjusted EPS of $3.21 compared to the expected $2.87. The strong performance was attributed to a surge in bond deals and steady growth in Moody's Analytics revenue, which has seen over 10% annual growth for the past five years. Additionally, Moody's has raised its full-year profit forecast, citing strong demand for its analytics services. Despite the positive results, Moody's stock traded down about 4% post-earnings.
