- Monday, June 17, 3:36 PM Moody's (MCO), S&P (MHP), and Morgan Stanley (MS) earlier this year paid the state of Florida $9.5M as part of a confidential settlement over a crisis-era MBS deal gone bad, reports the WSJ. Florida was one of 14 plaintiffs in the suit, and the total settlement came to about $225M. The case is of interest because the ratings agencies have been deluged with these lawsuits but have rarely settled. The defendants deny any wrongdoing. Comment! [Financials]
- Friday, May 3, 9:33 AM Moody's Corporation (MCO) declares $0.20/share quarterly dividend, in line with previous. Forward yield 1.32%. For shareholders of record May 20. Payable June 10. Ex-div date May 16. (PR) Comment! [Dividends]
- Friday, May 3, 7:16 AM More on Moody's (MCO) Q1: The company took a litigation charge of $451.4M during the quarter but still improved profitability during the period with Moody's Investors Service and Moodys Analytics performing strong. Revenue from the global structured finance business fell 1% Y/Y to $93M. Moody's still expects full-year 2013 revenue to grow in the high-single-digit percent range. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Consumer]
- Friday, May 3, 7:07 AM Moody's (MCO): Q1 EPS of $0.83. Revenue of $731.8M (+13% Y/Y) beats by $10.69M. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Breaking News]

[On the Move] - Monday, April 29, 8:30 AM Mcgraw-Hill (MHP) gains 5.2% premarket after S&P settles 2 lawsuits concerning pre-crisis ratings before letting the evidence be presented to a jury. Co-defendants in the case were Moody's (MCO) and Morgan Stanley. MS +1.8% premarket. The trial would have been a preview of the DOJ's suit against S&P. Comment! [Financials]
- Monday, April 22, 3:42 PM Judge Richard Kramer drops Moody's (MCO +0.2%) and Fitch from a lawsuit against Ambac (ABKFQ.PK +6.7%), after the plaintiff's lawyer says claims against the two ratings agencies "have been resolved." Several cities and counties filed suit against Ambac in 2008 alleging a conspiracy to compel municipalities to purchase unnecessary insurance. Comment!
- Wednesday, February 20, 10:30 AM David Einhorn re-confirms his shorts in McGraw-Hill (MHP) and Moody's (MCO), saying the DOJ suit against S&P shows the companies' vulnerability.
