Moody's is one of the favored stocks in a thread of picks that also includes Copart. x.com 

Moody's is one of the world's most beautiful businesses because trusted ratings take decades to establish, protecting its duopoly with S&P and its pricing power. Operating margins exceed 45%, and Moody's Analytics subscriptions make revenue quite resilient when companies issue less debt. Decades of credit-risk data are a huge AI product opportunity; fast-growing private credit also needs ratings. x.com 

S&P Global and Moody's look pretty cheap for a duopoly growing 10-11% a year, trading at 20-25 times earnings, with S&P Global the cheaper of the two. x.com 

S&P Global's valuation compression while fundamentals still look good is a gift from the market, because it owns two of the strongest businesses in the world. x.com
