Moody's is a global integrated risk assessment firm that helps organizations and investors to make better decisions. Co. is organized into two reportable segments: Moody's Investors Service, which publishes credit ratings and provides assessment services on a wide range of debt obligations, programs and facilities, and the entities that issue such obligations in markets worldwide, including various corporate, financial institution and governmental obligations, and structured finance securities; and Moody's Analytics, which provides data and analytic solutions. The MCO stock yearly return is shown above.
The yearly return on the MCO stock yearly return page and across the coverage universe of our site,
is a measure of the annual return over the calendar year 2018 for the given stock.
When performing this calculation it is important to factor in dividends, because a financial instrument's annual return is
more than just the change in price if that instrument pays a dividend or coupon.
One way to factor dividends into the return is simply to count them as cash — we don't do
that here. Instead, our website aims to empower investors
by performing the MCO annual return calculation with any dividends reinvested as applicable (on ex-dates).
