On June 16, Moody’s Corporation (NYSE:MCO) integrated its data services with Amazon Quick, an agentic AI assistant developed by Amazon Web Services (AWS). Its data and research services are now accessible through the AI assistant via a Model Context Protocol server.

With the integration, customers using Amazon Web Services will have access to Moody’s ratings and research. They will also have access to data from more than 600 million public and private entities, including firmographics, ownership information, financials, macroeconomic forecasts, economic data, and news sentiment.

According to Moody’s, the integration supports credit and lending use cases, including credit analysis, management, and relationship management. The integration also underlines the growing collaboration with AWS in the race to enable AI-supported decision-making for financial institutions.

Meanwhile, on June 18, analyst Charles Bendit raised Moody’s price target to $500 from $490, while maintaining a Neutral rating. He noted that AI is causing a “redistribution of value rather than wholesale disruption” in information services. Proprietary datasets such as ratings, risk, and private‑market data should retain pricing power and see stronger demand, whereas workflow and aggregation models may face gradual erosion. Rothschild also adjusted ratings and targets across the sector.

Moody’s Corporation (NYSE:MCO) is a global financial intelligence and risk assessment firm that evaluates the creditworthiness of borrowers and provides financial analytics to help institutions navigate market risks.
