MS Earnings Call
Q4 2026
0:00 / 0:00
Earnings Call Sentiment|Positive
The call conveyed strong, broad-based execution: record revenues and EPS, meaningful asset and flow growth in wealth and investment management, market share gains in institutional securities, a robust capital position (15% CET1 and >300 bps excess), and ongoing investment in AI, technology and strategic initiatives. Near-term challenges were acknowledged—DCP accounting transition and transitional costs, softer pockets in fixed income and commodities, mark-to-market volatility in some investment management strategies, and macro/regulatory uncertainties—but these were framed as manageable within the firm’s capital and operating plans. On balance the positive operational and financial momentum substantially outweighed the listed headwinds.View all MS earnings summariesMS Revenue Breakdown
