Summary

Morgan Stanley reported third-quarter 2026 net revenues of $20.3 billion and diluted EPS of $3.03, up from $18.2 billion and $2.80 a year earlier, with net income applicable to the firm of $4.9 billion and a return on tangible common equity of 22.6%. Chairman and CEO Ted Pick attributed the results to global strength in Institutional Securities' equity franchise and record Wealth Management revenues, which included $232 billion in net new assets and $80 billion in fee-based flows.

Key points

  • Wealth Management reported record net revenues of $9.1 billion and a pre-tax margin of 30.4%, with $232 billion in net new assets, just over half associated with IPO-related flows.
  • Institutional Securities net revenues were $10.0 billion, with equity net revenues up 41% and fixed income net revenues down 7%.
  • Investment Management net revenues fell to $1.5 billion from $1.7 billion a year ago, driven by a reversal of accrued carried interest tied to certain private fund investments.
  • The board declared a $1.15 quarterly dividend payable November 13, 2026, and the firm repurchased $1.5 billion of common stock during the quarter.
