Moody's Earnings Call Highlights Growth and Optimism
Moody's ((MCO)) has held its Q2 earnings call. Read on for the main highlights of the call. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. Moody's Earnings Call Reflects Positive Sentiment Amid Revenue Growth and Strategic Investments The recent earnings call for Moody's Corporation conveyed a generally positive sentiment, underscored by notable revenue growth and strategic advancements. While challenges were acknowledged in areas like Corporate Finance and Structured Finance issuance, the overall outlook remains optimistic, driven by strong performance in private credit and Moody's Analytics segments. The company's strategic investments in GenAI and private credit further contribute to this positive sentiment. Revenue Growth Moody's reported a revenue of $1.9 billion for the second quarter of 2025, marking a 4% increase year-over-year. The adjusted operating margin saw an improvement to 50.9%, up 130 basis points from the previous year, highlighting the company's robust financial health. Earnings Per Share Increase The company achieved a significant milestone with an adjusted diluted EPS of $3.56, reflecting a 9% growth compared to the previous year and a remarkable 60% increase from the same quarter three years ago. Private Credit Revenue Surge Private credit-related transactions were a standout, accounting for nearly 25% of first-time mandates. Revenue from private credit grew by an impressive 75% in the second quarter, showcasing the company's strong foothold in this market. Moody's Analytics Performance Moody's Analytics segment delivered an 11% revenue growth and a 12% increase in recurring revenue. The adjusted operating margin improved by 360 basis points year-over-year to 32.1%, reflecting the segment's robust performance. GenAI Integration The integration of GenAI into Moody's products is progressing well, with approximately 40% of products now featuring some form of GenAI enablement. Early adopter customers have contributed nearly $200 million, with spending growing at twice the rate of Moody's Analytics overall. Corporate Finance Transaction Revenue Decline Despite the overall positive outlook, Corporate Finance transaction revenue experienced a 6% decline year-over-year. This was attributed to a slowdown in bank loans issuance and subdued M&A activity. Structured Finance Issuance Decline Structured Finance issuance faced a 25% decline in the second quarter due to market volatility and wider spreads in April. However, transaction revenue only saw a 3% decline, thanks to a favorable mix. KYC Growth Deceleration The growth of KYC ARR moderated to 15%, impacted by the strategic termination of a long-standing redistribution partnership. This decision affected new business growth but aligns with Moody's strategic direction. Forward-Looking Guidance Moody's provided an optimistic forward-looking guidance during the earnings call. The company expects full-year revenue growth in the mid-single-digit percent range and has adjusted its fiscal guidance accordingly. With a focus on disciplined expense management and continued investment in growth opportunities, Moody's remains optimistic about the second half of the year. Strategic investments in private credit markets and partnerships are expected to drive future growth. In conclusion, Moody's earnings call painted a positive picture of the company's financial health and strategic direction. Despite some challenges in specific segments, the overall sentiment was buoyant, driven by strong revenue growth, strategic investments, and a promising outlook for the future.

EU approves counter-tariffs on U.S. goods, says trade deal within reach
BRUSSELS — The European Commission said on Thursday a negotiated trade solution with the United States is within reach - while EU members voted to approve counter-tariffs on 93 billion euros (US$109 billion) of U.S. goods in case the talks collapse. The 27-nation bloc's executive has repeatedly said its primary focus is on reaching a deal to avert 30 per cent U.S. tariffs that U.S. President Donald Trump has said he will apply on August 1. 'Our focus is on finding a negotiated outcome with the U.S. ... We believe such an outcome is within reach,' an EU spokesperson said in response to reporters' questions. Alongside negotiations, the Commission has pressed on with plans for potential countermeasures, merging two packages of proposed tariffs of 21 billion euros and 72 billion euros into a single list and submitting this to EU members for approval. The rate would be up to 30 per cent, designed to mirror U.S. tariffs, EU sources said. Diplomats said EU countries overwhelmingly approved the measures on Thursday, which the Commission later confirmed. The first package of countermeasures would enter force on August 7, with tariffs on soybeans and almonds delayed until December 1, an EU official said. The second package would enter force in two stages on September 7 and February 7. So far the EU has held back from imposing any countermeasures, despite Trump's tariffs already covering 70 per cent of EU exports. EU member states authorized the first package of countermeasures in April, but these were immediately suspended to allow time for negotiations. Closing on deal The EU and United States now appear to be heading towards a possible trade deal, according to EU diplomats, which would result in a broad 15 per cent tariff on EU goods imported into the U.S., mirroring a framework agreement Washington struck with Japan. Trump would still need to take any final decision. The White House said discussions of a deal should be considered 'speculation.' Trump trade adviser Peter Navarro told Bloomberg News the report from the EU should be taken with 'a grain of salt.' French Finance Minister Eric Lombard and Italian Industry Minister Adolfo Urso told a joint press conference in Paris they were not aware of a draft agreement, Urso adding he would only pass judgment when one was reached. There was little information available about what the EU would offer the United States to secure a deal. One EU diplomat said the bloc was not looking at a pledge of investment in the United States, as Japan has agreed. Another said the EU might reduce some of its own duties. Its current import duty for cars is 10 per cent. Under the outlines of the potential deal, the 15 per cent rate could apply to sectors including cars and pharmaceuticals and would not be added to long-standing U.S. duties, which average just under five per cent. There could also be exemptions for sectors such as aircraft, lumber as well as some medicines and agricultural products, which would not face tariffs, diplomats said. Washington does not, however, appear willing to lower its 50 per cent tariff on steel. --- Reporting by Philip Blenkinsop and Benoit Van Overstraeten, additional reporting by Julia Payne and Leigh Thomas; editing by Tomasz Janowski, Peter Graff and Hugh Lawson

It has been providing connectivity for theatres of operation, interconnection of institutional as well as defence sites, border control, Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance, and various other types of communications for air, land and maritime missions. Article content The state-of-the-art GovSat-2 satellite will extend the coverage and scale of GovSat, and is designed to address the needs of defence users at the highest Security and Service Assurance Level.

'As governments across Europe look to bolster their sovereign satellite communications for defence and intelligence needs, GovSat-2 gives GovSat additional MILSATCOM capacity to address this strategic area of growth.' Article content 'GovSat-2 reflects the growing demand in military satcom, allowing our GovSat public-private venture to scale and broaden the services we have been providing since 2018. For this brand new satellite, we are adding more frequency bands along with innovative functionalities for it to be well-positioned to address the future connectivity challenges the NATO and partner nations face,' said Patrick Biewer, CEO of GovSat.
