Moody's (MCO) Valuation: Governance Shift and Valuation Risks

Moody's (MCO) has seen a 9.93% 1 month and 11.78% 3 month share price return, and its 5 year total shareholder return of 107.11%. The company's recent election of Lisa P. Sawicki to its Board of Directors has investors reconsidering its valuation. Moody's trades at $534.9 with a P/E above 36x and analyst targets pointing to only moderate upside. The key question is whether the recent governance upgrade leaves room for mispricing or if the market already reflects expectations for future growth.
