Morgan Stanley (MS) has been observed making ambitious strides in wealth management and capital deployment. The firm’s strategic rotation plans are shaping its future, while its investment in student housing and growth equity financing significantly reinforces its asset portfolio. A noted analyst at the firm, Adam Jonas, shuffle coupled with a FINRA investigation into the company’s client screening adds a bit of concern. Expected Q3 EPS growth and dividend increase brighten the outlook on shares, further emphasized by the closure of a $3.2B fund.
The firm has announced an equity share repurchase program, and Ted Pick's upcoming speech at the Financials, Payments & Commercial Real Estate Conference. Despite an earnings beat, shares fell due to shrinking investment banking revenue. Opinions on the company's stock vary, but it has seen recent purchases from significant institutions like Commonwealth Equity Services and Mitsubishi UFJ Asset Management Co. Ltd.
Morgan Stanley has been expanding its reach as well, with the launch of a futures company in China, closure of a $4.1B infrastructure fund, and strategic partnership with Torch Clean Energy marking significant growth.
