“The strength of Moody’s is in our people, and I would like to thank our employees around the world for their dedication during this challenging time in support of Moody’s stakeholders. Our mission, to provide trusted insights and standards that help decision makers act with confidence, has never been more relevant, and our operating results reflect that,” said Raymond McDaniel, President and Chief Executive Officer of Moody’s. “Moody’s Investors Service exhibited robust top-line growth as issuers continued to seek liquidity amid broadly receptive credit market conditions. Furthermore, Moody’s Analytics growth remained resilient as its transition to subscription-based products progressed. As the second quarter exceeded our expectations, we are raising and narrowing our full year 2020 adjusted diluted EPS guidance range to $8.80 to $9.20, while still expecting debt issuance to taper in the second half of the year.”
