Stifel analyst Shlomo Rosenbaum last night upgraded Moody’s (MCO) to Buy from Hold with a price target of $574, up from $471. The firm expects a strong debt issuance year in 2026, which should result in revenue and earnings outperformance for Moody’s. The company is a “long-term compounder stock, where investors need to pick a good entry point,” the analyst tells investors in a research note. Stifel says its expectations for a strong debt issuance activity in 2026 make current levels a good entry point into the stock.
