How often are Moody's ratings updated?

Moody's ratings are updated on an ongoing basis, depending on various factors. The frequency of updates can vary depending on the type of security or issuer being rated. For example, corporate bond ratings are typically reviewed annually, but may be updated more frequently if significant events or changes occur. Sovereign ratings are usually reviewed multiple times per year. Financial institutions and structured finance ratings may also undergo frequent updates due to their dynamic nature. In addition to scheduled reviews, ratings can be updated at any time to reflect new information, market developments, or changes in Moody's methodology. The goal is to provide investors with timely and accurate information to aid in their decision-making process.
