Morgan Stanley falls 3% despite 12% revenue growth to $20.3B as Cramer blames inflation fears

Morgan Stanley (MS) shares fell nearly 3% on Wednesday, even after third-quarter revenue rose 12% to $20.3 billion from $18.2 billion a year earlier and beat forecasts. Goldman Sachs also beat estimates, yet it lost another 1.5%. CNBC host Jim Cramer blames worries about sticky inflation and climbing rates, not weak results. "It's not easy to own these bank stocks right now," he said. Institutional Securities revenue grew 18% to $10 billion, while fixed income fell 7%. Wealth management revenue rose 10%, and client assets reached a record $10.5 trillion. Cramer said a resolution to the war in Iran could cool inflation and give the Federal Reserve room to hold off on rate hikes.

Morgan Stanley bets on people over AI as Q3 revenue hits $20.3B

Morgan Stanley is taking a measured approach to AI while stressing the role of its people, chief executive officer Ted Pick told analysts on Wednesday. "It's a people business," he said of wealth management, adding that AI can "do a lot of the early work" but clients ultimately ask, "do I trust my financial advisor?" The bank lends capital for the AI buildout and uses the technology internally to boost scale and efficiency. Its wealth unit has worked with OpenAI since at least 2023. Third-quarter net revenues rose to $20.3 billion from $18.2 billion a year earlier. Net income was $4.9 billion, up 6.5%, and earnings per share were $3.03, above the $2.92 analysts expected. Wealth management posted record revenues of $9.1 billion, and net new assets reached $232 billion, up 187%.
