Moody's KMV calculates Expected Default Frequency™ (EDF)—an objective, forward-looking probability of default measure—by compiling information about a firm's equity, leverage, industry, volatility, financial statement data, and historical defaults, and by performing an analysis using our advanced financial model.
Moody's KMV analyzes and computes credit spreads using a risk-neutral valuation methodology. The valuation framework compiles data from three markets to provide insight into what equity, bond, and CDS markets are implying about risk and return.
