BMO lowers the valuation bar
The target reduction is the clearest fresh analyst signal for Morgan Stanley. The new USD 215.00 objective remains above the prior target of USD 250.00 only in historical terms, leaving investors to weigh a lower valuation marker against the bank's latest operating performance.
MarketBeat reported on October 7, 2026 that 26 analysts carried a Moderate Buy consensus, with an average 12-month target of USD 219.90. The analyst split included 11 buy ratings, 12 hold ratings, 2 strong-buy ratings and 1 sell rating.
Second-quarter growth sets the test
According to Seeking Alpha, Morgan Stanley reported USD 21.35 billion in revenue and GAAP earnings per share of USD 3.46 for the second quarter of 2026, announced on July 15, 2026. Revenue exceeded the USD 19.67 billion consensus estimate, while the quarterly revenue figure increased 27.10 percent from the same period a year earlier.
The upcoming third-quarter report will show whether that pace carried into the second half. Morgan Stanley's official investor-relations notice dated September 30, 2026 schedules the third-quarter 2026 results for October 14, 2026, before the US market opens, with a conference call later that morning.
