Morgan Stanley reported third-quarter financial results that exceeded analyst expectations for both earnings per share and revenue. According to figures reported by Invezz, the bank achieved an EPS of $3.03 against a consensus estimate of $2.91, while revenue reached $20.34 billion, surpassing the expected $19.95 billion. Despite the strong performance, the stock traded slightly lower in premarket sessions as investors appeared to engage in a 'sell the news' reaction.
