MOODY’S Analytics has a little quirk that signifies when one of the dozen or so research briefs and other press releases it makes in a given week is likely to be startling: The research firm will take pains to remind reporters not to conflate “Moody’s Analytics” with “Moody’s Investors Service,” the credit ratings agency; in the latest example, which was released last Thursday (March 25) the reminder was highlighted in yellow in the accompanying email.

For the record, Moody’s Analytics and Moody’s Investors Service operate under the same large umbrella of the Moody’s Corporation, but are otherwise independent; the Investors Service is one of the “big three” credit ratings agencies, while Moody’s Analytics focuses on “financial intelligence,” macroeconomic and sector research and analysis.
