MOODYS CORP /DE/ 8-K

What Happened

• Moody's Corporation (MCO) announced its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 and provided its outlook for fiscal 2026 in an 8-K filed April 22, 2026. The company furnished a press release containing the announcement as Exhibit 99.1. The disclosure is furnished to the SEC and is not being “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act.

Key Details

• Filing date: April 22, 2026; quarter covered: ended March 31, 2026.
• Press release with results and 2026 outlook included as Exhibit 99.1 to the 8-K.
• The information in the report is furnished (not filed) and therefore not subject to Section 18 liabilities nor automatically incorporated by reference into future filings unless explicitly stated.
• The 8-K also includes a Regulation FD disclosure (public release of material information).

Why It Matters

• This 8-K is the company’s official, SEC-recorded announcement of its Q1 performance and guidance for 2026—key inputs investors use to assess near-term growth and valuation.
• Because the press release is furnished (not filed), it conveys material results publicly but carries different legal incorporation and liability implications under SEC rules.
• Investors should review the attached press release (Exhibit 99.1) for the detailed revenue, earnings, and guidance figures and monitor subsequent filings (e.g., Form 10-Q) for the audited financial statements and management discussion.
