Morgan Stanley (MS) has shown promising performance in recent cycles, increasing by 3.5% since the last earnings report. The company posted a significant third-quarter earnings beat, alongside a strategic acquisition of EquityZen, indicating an aggressive expansion into private markets. This approach is further reflected in MS's launch of private company research. The company also increased its dividend by 7.5 cents, with a renewed authorization for a $20 billion multi-year common equity share repurchase program, providing comfort to its shareholders. However, MS has been questioned by a US House panel over the Zijin Gold IPO in Hong Kong, raising speculations. Amidst AI boom, MS is focusing on private companies, and it confirmed a strong Q3 performance which exceeded expectations. Though there were some fluctuations in the MS's shares, significant acquisitions of shares, including by the National Pension Service and KBC Group NV, showcase trust among investors. Despite strong earnings and revenue, shares have seen a small dip due to shrinking investment banking revenue. However, MS's overall trajectory suggests a continued upward trend.
