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.

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.

MCO President West sells 3,704 shares for $1,893,318.78; cuts holdings by 31.1%

West Michael L, President of Moody's Investors, executed 4 separate sales on 2025-07-29 totaling 3,704 shares (3.7K shares) for $1,893,318.78 ($1.9M) at prices ranging from $509.35 to $512.35, reducing his holdings by 31.1% from 11,913 to 8,209 shares. The sales occurred near the stock's 52-week high of $527.48 (current price $512.62 is -2.8% from that peak), and the blended average sale price of $511.10 sits just below current levels. Across his prior 5 same-ticker MCO sales, 0 of 5 proved well-timed at the 90-day mark (meaning the stock subsequently rose after each sale), suggesting a pattern of selling into strength rather than before declines. With MCO trading at a P/E of 43.15 and the company showing strong fundamentals (revenue of $1,898,000,000.00 latest quarter, net income of $578,000,000.00, and annual revenue growth of +19.8%), the sale reflects a significant portfolio reduction by a senior executive but without clear evidence of negative conviction based on his historical timing outcomes at this ticker.

President of Moody's Investors sold 10,896 shares at $475.53 avg for $5.2M on 2024-11-08

West Michael L, President of Moody's Investors, executed 3 separate sales totaling 10,896 shares for $5,181,341.50 at prices ranging from $474.44 to $475.65. This represents a -55.9% reduction in his holdings, leaving him with 8,607 shares post-transaction. The transaction occurred near the stock's 52-week high of $494.66, with shares trading at $475.48 currently and up +0.1% over the prior 30 days. His cross-ticker track record shows 3 prior open-market sells with an average 90-day return of +7.0% and a 90d well-timed rate of 33.33%, indicating his sales have historically missed upside moves more often than they've preceded declines. At his prior MCO sales in November 2023, the stock rose +10.7% in 30 days and +17.6% in 90 days, both poorly-timed outcomes. The sale occurs with MCO trading at a P/E of 43.03 against $1.8B in quarterly revenue growth of +8.2% year-over-year.
