ORIX CORPORATION vs Moody’s Corporation, two Credit Services stocks. A side-by-side on valuation, growth, margins, returns, and what each price is betting.
Orix carries 1.43 turns of debt as a diversified Japanese financial conglomerate; Moody's carries 2.4 turns and a buyback-hollowed equity base behind its rating-agency franchise, and the leverage funds wildly different returns: Moody's 79.4% on equity against Orix's 9.8%, near-monopoly ratings economics against sprawling-conglomerate ones. Moody's nets 31.7% of revenue to Orix's 13.4%, and trades at 32.3 times earnings against Orix's no-usable-P/E. Orix pays the bigger dividend, 2.64% against 0.84%, and shows a 21.3% free-cash figure. The pair prices a ratings monopoly against a financial conglomerate; Moody's sells opinions at monopoly margins and commands the premium, Orix earns a fraction of the return across many businesses and trades as deep value.
