Unfortunately, high risk investments often have little probability of ever paying off, and many investors pay a price to learn their lesson.In contrast to all that, I prefer to spend time on companies like Moody's (NYSE:MCO), which has not only revenues, but also profits. Even if the shares are fully valued today, most capitalists would recognize its profits as the demonstration of steady value generation. Conversely, a loss-making company is yet to prove itself with profit, and eventually the sweet milk of external capital may run sour.Check out our latest analysis for Moody'sMoody's's Earnings Per Share Are Growing.If a company can keep growing earnings per share (EPS) long enough, its share price will eventually follow. It's no surprise, then, that I like to invest in companies with EPS growth. As a tree reaches steadily for the sky, Moody's's EPS has grown 22% each year, compound, over three years. As a general rule, we'd say that if a company can keep up that sort of growth, shareholders will be smiling.I like to take a look at earnings before interest and (EBIT) tax margins, as well as revenue growth, to get another take on the quality of the company's growth. The good news is that Moody's is growing revenues, and EBIT margins improved by 2.6 percentage points to 45%, over the last year. Ticking those two boxes is a good sign of growth, in my book.You can take a look at the company's revenue and earnings growth trend, in the chart below.

You could base your opinion on past performance, of course, but you may also want to check this interactive graph of professional analyst EPS forecasts for Moody's.Are Moody's Insiders Aligned With All Shareholders?We would not expect to see insiders owning a large percentage of a US$60b company like Moody's. But we do take comfort from the fact that they are investors in the company. Indeed, they have a glittering mountain of wealth invested in it, currently valued at US$228m. I would find that kind of skin in the game quite encouraging, if I owned shares, since it would ensure that the leaders of the company would also experience my success, or failure, with the stock.It's good to see that insiders are invested in the company, but are remuneration levels reasonable? A brief analysis of the CEO compensation suggests they are. For companies with market capitalizations over US$8.0b, like Moody's, the median CEO pay is around US$11m.The Moody's CEO received US$5.8m in compensation for the year ending . That comes in below the average for similar sized companies, and seems pretty reasonable to me. CEO compensation is hardly the most important aspect of a company to consider, but when its reasonable that does give me a little more confidence that leadership are looking out for shareholder interests. It can also be a sign of a culture of integrity, in a broader sense.Does Moody's Deserve A Spot On Your Watchlist?Given my belief that share price follows earnings per share you can easily imagine how I feel about Moody's's strong EPS growth. If you need more convincing beyond that EPS growth rate, don't forget about the reasonable remuneration and the high insider ownership. Each to their own, but I think all this makes Moody's look rather interesting indeed. Before you take the next step you should know about the 2 warning signs for Moody's that we have uncovered.Although Moody's certainly looks good to me, I would like it more if insiders were buying up shares. If you like to see insider buying, too, then this free list of growing companies that insiders are buying, could be exactly what you're looking for.Please note the insider transactions discussed in this article refer to reportable transactions in the relevant jurisdiction.This article by Simply Wall St is general in nature.
