Morgan Stanley has shown significant financial growth, reaching record-high earnings in Q3. It's impressive performance was fuelled by
equities revenue and
investment banking, leading to
shares soaring. The firm's beats on earnings estimates have garnered attention, creating a long-term bullish narrative. Its share buyback strategy continues at a 'slightly higher cadence', further increasing its investment narrative.
Institutional securities revenue growth of +25% Y/Y and
wealth management growth of +13% have also contributed to the firm's bullish outlook. Additionally, the firm has demonstrated innovative approaches, including dropping
restrictions on owning crypto funds for its wealth clients, and favouring a 60/20/20 portfolio strategy with gold as an inflation hedge. Meanwhile, Morgan Stanley recently announced a renewed
$20 billion multi-year common equity share repurchase program and a 7.5 Cents Dividend Increase, while
analysts have upgraded their forecasts following upbeat Q3 earnings, setting a bullish pace for the stock.
