Morgan Stanley (ISIN US6174464486) stood at EUR 169.98 at Lang & Schwarz on September 30, 2026 at 2:30 p.m. CEST, plus 0.11 percent versus the prior close of EUR 169.80. The latest earnings picture gives the stock a concrete anchor as HSBC raises its target.

HSBC lifts target to USD 219.00

According to MarketBeat on September 28, 2026, HSBC lifted its Morgan Stanley price target from USD 215.00 to USD 219.00 while maintaining a Hold rating. The same report put the broader consensus at Moderate Buy with an average target of USD 224.10.

The target revision came against a mixed technical backdrop. Morgan Stanley's primary listing is on the NYSE, and its USD 151.84 to USD 232.25 52-week range leaves the stock below its yearly high as of September 29, 2026.

Q2 revenue rises 27.1 percent

For Q2 2026, Morgan Stanley reported revenue of USD 21.35 billion and EPS of USD 3.46, according to MarketBeat. Revenue increased 27.1 percent from the prior-year quarter, while EPS exceeded the USD 2.89 consensus estimate by USD 0.57.

The comparison matters because it shows both scale and operating leverage in the latest reported period. MarketBeat also reported a 15.65 percent net margin and a 19.31 percent return on equity for that quarter, giving investors two profitability measures alongside the revenue growth.

October 14 brings the next test

Morgan Stanley's next scheduled checkpoint is Q3 2026 earnings on October 14, 2026, before the market opens, according to MarketBeat. The listed consensus is USD 3.10 EPS and USD 20.24 billion in revenue for that quarter.

That forecast creates a clear comparison point after the USD 3.46 Q2 EPS result. Morgan Stanley has also authorized a USD 20.00 billion share repurchase program, equivalent to up to 5.6 percent of outstanding shares, according to MarketBeat.
