China expansion potential: A meeting between Chinese official He Lifeng and MS Co-President underscores opportunities to deepen cooperation with China’s financial sector. Strong IPO pipeline: Cybersecurity provider Netskope tapped MS to lead its $500 million U.S. IPO, highlighting MS’s prominence in equity capital markets. Recent momentum: MS shares have risen 10.5% over the past month, outpacing the S&P 500 and reflecting robust investor interest. Research activity: MS analysts initiated or adjusted ratings and price targets on various names (Coupang, Novonesis, Performance Food, flatexDEGIRO, among others), demonstrating active equities coverage. Market insights: MS warns that re-escalation of global tariffs could trigger a recession, reflecting its macroeconomic outlook. Relative weakness: MS stock dipped more than the broader market in the latest session, suggesting short-term profit-taking after recent gains.
