MCO's stock price has shown volatility recently, with a current price of $461.01 as of 2025-03-07. The stock is trading below its 20-day Bollinger Band but above its 50-day moving average, indicating potential support at current levels. The RSI_14 of 31.34 suggests the stock is oversold, which could indicate a potential rebound.
MCO reported Q4 2024 revenue of $1.67 billion, a 13% year-over-year increase, slightly missing expectations. Adjusted EPS of $2.62 beat estimates, reflecting strong earnings performance. The company projects high-single-digit revenue growth for 2025 and an adjusted EPS range of $14.00 to $14.50, indicating positive future outlook.
Analysts maintain a "Moderate Buy" rating on MCO, with a mean price target of $546.05. Recent upgrades from Barclays to $570 suggest optimism. However, insider selling activity, including by CEO Robert Fauber, indicates some caution.
Based on the oversold RSI and positive earnings outlook, MCO is expected to rebound. The stock is predicted to reach $470 in the next trading week. The combination of technical and fundamental factors suggests a buy recommendation.
The price of MCO is predicted to go up 7.97%, based on the high correlation periods with VEEV. The similarity of these two price pattern on the periods is 94.13%.
