# Moody's quarterly profit jumps on bond issuance activity strength

July 22 (Reuters) - Moody’s (MCO.N) reported a jump in second-quarter profit on Wednesday, as strong bond issuance activity drove growth in its ratings business.

Global bond issuance was strong in the reported quarter as credit spreads, a gauge of corporate sector health, were at historically low levels, creating a favorable environment for tapping debt markets.

Here are some more details:

-   Revenue from Moody’s investors service business, which issues credit ratings, jumped 25% to $1.26 billion in the quarter from a year earlier.
-   Rated issuance volume surged 33%, driven by broad-based strength across business lines.
-   “As capital markets evolve, funding needs grow, risks become more interconnected, and AI transforms workflows, customers are turning to us to make consequential decisions with greater confidence,” CEO Rob Fauber said.
-   Revenue from the analytics segment, which ⁠chiefly depends on fixed subscriptions, rose 4% in the second quarter.
-   Profit attributable to Moody’s was $878 million, or $5.03 per share, in the three months ended June 30, compared with $578 million, or $3.21 per share, a year earlier.
-   Moody’s raised the lower end of its annual profit forecast to $16.50 from $16.40. Revenue growth is still expected to be in the high-single-digit percent range in 2026.
-   The stock has fallen 3.9% this year through last close.
