Moody’s Investors Service, the firm that grades much of the debt from the world’s companies and governments, is rebranding to Moody’s Ratings.

Moody’s Corp. on Wednesday tweaked the name of its credit-assessing unit and shortened Moody’s Analytics — the financial intelligence group — to, simply, Moody’s. The rebrand comes as the 115-year-old company aims to clarify the roles of its two primary businesses.
