Read MoreHide Full Article
Wall Street analysts expect Morgan Stanley (MS - Free Report) to post quarterly earnings of $1.57 per share in its upcoming report, which indicates a year-over-year increase of 13.8%. Revenues are expected to be $14.27 billion, up 7.5% from the year-ago quarter.
Over the past 30 days, the consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been adjusted downward by 1.1% to its current level. This demonstrates the covering analysts' collective reassessment of their initial projections during this period.

Empirical research has consistently demonstrated a robust correlation between trends in earnings estimate revision and the short-term price performance of a stock.
