Investing.com inflection point , as the company solidifies its position as a fully-integrated financial services juggernaut, offering investment banking, retail banking services, wealth management, and investment management.
The rapid ascent of the share price reflects Morgan Stanley’s rapid progress. The Wall Street analyst consensus is bullish, but the current share price is slightly above the consensus 12-month price target.
The market-implied outlook to early 2022 is bullish, becoming neutral as we look out to mid year. The projected volatility is moderate. Given the modest share valuation, the impressive outperformance on earnings over the past year, and the bullish Wall Street consensus and market-implied outlook, I am assigning a bullish rating on MS despite the lack of upside potential implied by the consensus price target
