Robert Fauber, President and CEO, executed 2 separate sales totaling 1,467 shares for $668,203.83 on 2026-07-01 at a blended average price of $455.49 per share. This transaction is part of a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan, meaning it was scheduled and not discretionary.

At the current price of $490.51, the stock has appreciated +8.1% over the prior 30 days and +11.3% over the prior 90 days. His prior trades at MCO have shown mixed outcomes: recent sales in June 2026 posted +3.2% 30-day returns, while April 2026 recorded +4.1% 30-day and +3.5% 90-day returns, though his broader cross-ticker track record of 20 prior sells averaged -1.2% 30-day return and -1.9% 90-day return. The scheduled nature of this sale through a 10b5-1 plan removes any inference of insider timing discretion.

Robert Fauber, President and CEO of Moody's Corp, executed 2 separate sales totaling 1,467 shares for $665,533.89 under a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan on 2026-06-01. This represents a -2.7% reduction in his non-derivative holdings, from 54,030 shares to 52,563 shares; his derivative holdings (4,124 employee stock options across 2 vehicles) remain intact. The blended average sale price of $453.67 is minimal vs the current price of $453.60, and the stock is -17.1% from its 52-week high, trading within its 52-week range. Across his same-ticker MCO history, Fauber's 5 prior sales show mixed outcomes: 3 sales in April posted 30-day and 90-day gains, while 2 sales in May posted small losses. As a scheduled 10b5-1 transaction, this sale is routine portfolio management rather than a discretionary signal of near-term conviction or concern.

MCO CEO Robert Fauber sells $684K in stock while company trades below recent highs

Robert Fauber, the CEO of Moody's, executed a combined $684K sale of company stock. The sale occurs while the stock is trading meaningfully below its recent highs, having pulled back from elevated levels over the past three months—a timing that makes this sale less obviously coincidental with routine option exercises. Fauber's sale represents a small fraction of his total holdings, suggesting this is a portfolio management or liquidity decision rather than a panic exit. However, the modest sale during a period of weakness—rather than strength—is the inverse of what you'd typically see from insiders with strong conviction about their company's prospects. The company itself remains profitable and grows revenue substantially, so this trade likely reflects personal financial planning rather than fundamental concern about Moody's business.

Moody's CEO Fauber sells 1,467 shares for $642,208.59 on April 1; stock down 11.7% in 90 days, 5 prior MCO sales show declining 30-day performance.

Robert Fauber, President and CEO of Moody's, executed 3 separate sales totaling 1,467 shares for $642,208.59 at a blended average of $437.77 on 2026-04-01, reducing holdings by 1.9% to 75,488 shares. His track record shows a pattern of recent selling activity at Moody's: 5 prior trades at this ticker in recent months (January through March 2026), with 30-day post-sale returns ranging from +1.3% to -8.8%. The current stock price of $440.79 sits 18.3% below the 52-week high of $539.61, and has declined 11.7% over the past 90 days and 5.1% over the past 30 days. The company's fundamentals remain stable with FY revenue growth of +8.9%, a P/E ratio of 29.54, and a market cap of $78.2B, though the recent downward price momentum is notable in context of the insider's recent selling cadence.

President of Moody's Investors sold 4,250 shares (32.7% of holdings) at $473.72 on 2026-03-04 for $2,013,300.65

West Michael L, President of Moody's Investors, sold 4,250 shares (4.2K shares) of MCO at $473.72, reducing his holdings from 13,008 shares (13.0K shares) to 8,758 shares (8.8K shares)—a -32.7% reduction in his position. The sale price of $473.72 sits near the current price of $470.05 and within the 52-week trading range, though notably -12.9% from the 52-week high of $539.61. His prior open-market trade history shows a 50.00% well-timed rate on 12 prior sells (cross-ticker), with 3 of 3 measurable same-ticker sales at MCO all posting negative 90-day returns, suggesting consistent timing precision at this specific ticker. The company's fundamentals remain solid: $2.0B quarterly revenue, $646.0M net income, and +8.9% annual revenue growth, though the P/E of 31.50 reflects elevated valuation expectations.

MCO President/CEO Fauber sold 5,213 shares at $456.71; current price $471.01, stock down 8.9% in 30 days.

Fauber sold 5,213 shares at $456.71 on 2026-03-03, reducing his holdings from 81,001 to 75,788 shares. The stock has since risen to $471.01, meaning this sale occurred below the current market price. His cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior sales with an average 30-day return of +0.6% and 90-day well-timed rate of 43.75%, suggesting mixed execution quality. At MCO specifically, his prior sales show recent weakness: sells on 2026-02-02 and 2026-01-05 were each followed by 30-day declines of -8.8% and -8.2%, though the most measurable full 90-day outcome (the 2025-11-03 sale) saw a +7.6% return, indicating poorly timed execution. The stock is now 12.7% below its 52-week high and down 8.9% over the past 30 days, adding context to this insider transaction.

Moody's President West sells 3,327 shares for $1,577,340.34; maintains 9,787 shares; timing aligns with recent price decline.

Michael L West, President of Moody's Investors, executed 2 separate sales on 2026-02-26 totaling 3,327 shares for $1,577,340.34 at a blended average price of $474.10, reducing his holdings by 25.4% to 9,787 shares post-transaction. The sales occur as the stock has declined 7.6% over the prior 30 days and 2.7% over 90 days from the current price of $477.59. At this ticker, West's prior 5 trades show a timing pattern where 4 of 5 prior sells were well-timed at the 90-day mark, though his cross-ticker track record shows a 50.00% well-timed rate and average 90-day returns of 2.6% (indicating modest timing accuracy overall). The company reports strong fundamentals with $2.0B revenue, $646.0M net income, 8.9% annual revenue growth, and a P/E of 32.01, leaving the motivation for this significant reduction in holdings unclear from disclosed facts alone.

Moody's CEO Fauber sells 1,167 shares across 2 transactions (Feb 2-3) for $592,428.30; stock down 12.5% in 30 days

The sales reduced his holdings from 62,248 to 61,081 shares (-1.9%). The timing is noteworthy: the stock has declined 12.5% over the 30 days following the transaction and is currently trading at $461.21, approximately 9% below the blended average sale price of $507.65. His prior trades at Moody's show mixed timing—2 of 3 measurable 90-day outcomes were negative (well-timed sells), though his cross-ticker track record shows a 38.89% well-timed sell rate with an average 90-day return of +3.2%, indicating the market typically rises after his sales. The recent selling activity occurs as the stock trades near its 52-week low and well below its November high of $539.61, in a company with strong fundamentals (revenue $2.0B, net income $646.0M, +19.8% annual growth).

At the current price of $532.90, MCO is trading at its 52-week high (+0.0% from range ceiling), with stock up 7.3% over 30 days and 8.7% over 90 days. Fauber's prior five trades at MCO show a pattern where all four measurable 90-day outcomes were well-timed (stock declined after sale); however, his cross-ticker track record shows an average 90-day return of +5.6% post-sell with a 36.84% well-timed rate, indicating moderate but inconsistent timing success across his broader portfolio. The timing context—selling near all-time highs amid strong recent momentum—presents a factual data point for investor evaluation.
