Moody's Corporation (ISIN US6153691059) has a USD 575.00 price target after Royal Bank of Canada cut its objective from USD 610.00 on October 16, 2026, according to MarketBeat.

Target remains above the market
The RBC target stands 18.91 percent above Moody's primary-exchange price of USD 483.60 on October 20, 2026 at 10:35 a.m. ET. The target reduction still leaves a large gap to the latest U.S. quotation, while the analyst maintained an outperform rating.
USD 546.88 yearly high sets frame
On the NYSE, Moody's traded within a 52-week range of USD 402.28 to USD 546.88 as of October 20, 2026. The USD 483.60 price stood 11.57 percent below the yearly high and 20.22 percent above the yearly low. Trading volume reached 286,492 shares at the quoted time.
Valuation and October 21 results
Moody's market capitalization was USD 83.7 billion, while its price-to-earnings ratio was 30.62 and its dividend yield was 0.01 percent as of October 20, 2026. Moody's will release its third-quarter 2026 results before the NYSE session on October 21, 2026, as stated in the company's release dated September 30, 2026 and linked through Moody's.
What does the target imply?
The comparison is straightforward: USD 575.00 is 18.91 percent above the USD 483.60 NYSE price, but the target is USD 35.00 below the earlier USD 610.00 objective. The next earnings release therefore arrives while analysts are balancing a reduced valuation reference against a scheduled corporate update.
Stock level before results
Moody's combines a USD 83.7 billion market value with a 30.62 price-to-earnings ratio and a price that remains below its USD 546.88 yearly high. The October 21, 2026 results date is the next concrete event for the stock.
