Moody’s was founded in 1909 by John Moody, building on his earlier publications of financial statistics and bond analysis from 1900. Headquartered in New York, the company is best known for Moody’s Ratings and Moody’s Analytics, which together help investors, lenders, and corporations assess credit risk, market conditions, and financial performance. Moody’s became part of Dun & Bradstreet in 1962 and was spun off as a separate public company in 2000, later evolving into a global risk assessment leader. Its long history reflects a continuing focus on transparency, credit intelligence, and decision-support tools for global capital markets.
