Moody's Corporation (NYSE: MCO) has announced the resignation of Stephen Tulenko, President of Moody's Analytics, effective September 2, 2025. Tulenko will leave his position as an officer and employee, and the company has not yet announced a successor. This development will likely lead to strategic adjustments within Moody's Analytics and is being closely watched by investors and stakeholders. Moody's Corporation is a significant player in the financial services industry, known for its credit ratings, research, and risk analysis.

The resignation was announced on August 19, 2025, with Tulenko notifying the company of his decision to step down. Andy Frepp, Chief Operating Officer of Moody's Analytics, has been appointed Interim President while the company begins the process to identify a permanent replacement. Frepp brings extensive knowledge and leadership experience to the role, ensuring continuity and stability [3].

Moody's Corporation reported its second-quarter 2025 earnings, surpassing Wall Street expectations. The company achieved an adjusted earnings per share of $3.56, exceeding the forecast of $3.38, and reported revenue of $1.9 billion, which was higher than the anticipated $1.85 billion [2]. Despite these strong financial results, Moody's stock experienced a decline in premarket trading, attributed to investor concerns over broader market conditions.

BMO Capital has reiterated its Market Perform rating and $534.00 price target on Moody’s Corp, citing improved issuance activity and favorable credit market conditions. However, Raymond James reiterated its Underperform rating on Moody’s, expressing caution despite what it described as a generally healthy quarter for credit market issuance [2].

The resignation of Tulenko and the appointment of Frepp as Interim President mark a significant leadership change within Moody's Analytics. The company is currently navigating the complexities of the financial landscape, and these changes are being closely monitored by investors and financial professionals.
