Morgan Stanley Earnings: Near to Medium-Term Outlook Continues to Be Positive

Michael Wong

Narrow-moat-rated Morgan Stanley reported another good quarter, as capital markets activity recovered and equity markets trended higher in the second quarter. The company reported net income to common shareholders of $2.9 billion, or $1.82 per diluted share, on $15 billion of net revenue. Net revenue decreased 1% sequentially but was up 12% year over year. We don't anticipate making a material change to our $97 per share fair value estimate and assess the shares as fairly valued.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Increases in asset prices can materially improve revenue and operating margins in the company's asset-management and wealth-management segments. There's also a sweet spot to the level of interest rates that can improve earnings.

Bears

Operating leverage has recently led to strong earnings performance, but any pullback in revenue from a recession could also lead to material margin contraction.
