Morgan Stanley (ISIN US6174464486) was trading at EUR 172.73 at Lang & Schwarz on October 13, 2026 at 11:06 a.m. CEST. According to The Cerbat Gem, Erste Group raised its fiscal 2027 earnings-per-share forecast to USD 13.76 from USD 13.70 in a report dated October 8, 2026.

Forecast rises before earnings

The change is modest at USD 0.06, but it arrives before Morgan Stanley's scheduled third-quarter results. Erste Group kept a Hold rating, while the same report said the broader consensus for full-year earnings stood at USD 12.66 per share.

The analyst update contrasts with the company's latest reported quarter. GreekSoup reported that Morgan Stanley generated USD 21.35 billion in revenue in the second quarter of 2026, up 27.10 percent from the same quarter a year earlier, while net income reached USD 5.60 billion and diluted earnings per share was USD 3.46.

What does the forecast change mean?

The forecast move leaves the fiscal 2027 estimate 8.69 percent above the USD 12.66 consensus cited in the analyst coverage. That comparison matters because the next company report will test whether the recent earnings momentum can support estimates beyond the second quarter.
