MS Earnings Call
Q1 2026
0:00 / 0:00
Earnings Call Sentiment|Positive
The call emphasized broad-based, record-setting revenue and profitability across Institutional Securities, Wealth Management and Markets, backed by strong capital metrics (CET1 15.1%, $15B capital accreted over nine quarters) and aggressive asset-gathering (NNA $118B, fee-based flows $54B). Management also highlighted strategic investments (EquityZen, digital asset pilot), strong Asia momentum and durable markets-led financing businesses. Offsetting items included an informational "learning moment" in private credit with some fund redemptions and declines in accrued carried interest, one-time severance charges of $178 million, rising RWAs and regulatory (Basel) and macro/geopolitical uncertainties. Overall, positives around top-line records, margins, capital strength and client engagement materially outweigh the manageable and mostly non-structural challenges discussed.View all MS earnings summariesMS Revenue Breakdown
