- Thursday, April 18, 7:28 AM More on Morgan Stanley (MS) Q1 earnings: Excluding DVA, revenue of $8.5B fell 4.5% Y/Y, but beat expectations by about $160M. Earnings would have been a beat as well. Wealth management is a focus now, and revenue grew to $3.5B from $3.3B in Q4, with pre-tax margin of 17%. "Program to reduce non-strategic risk-weighted assets in (trading) remains on schedule." Indeed: FICC revenue of $1.5B, off 42% Y/Y. Shares flat. (PR) Comment! [Financials, Earnings]
- Thursday, April 18, 7:17 AM Morgan Stanley (MS): Q1 EPS of $0.61 beats by $0.04. Revenue of $8.48B beats by $0.13B. (PR) Comment! [Earnings, Breaking News, Financials]
- Thursday, April 18, 12:05 AM Notable earnings before Thursday’s open: ADS, AN, APH, BAX, BBT, BPOP, BTU, BX, CY, DHR, FCS, FCX, FITB, KEY, LDK, MMR, MS, NOK, NUE, OMC, PBCT, PENN, PEP, PM, PPG, SHW, SNA, SON, TSM, TZOO, UNH, UNP, VZ Comment! [Earnings]
- Wednesday, April 17, 5:30 PM Notable earnings before Thursday’s open: ADS, AN, APH, BAX, BBT, BPOP, BTU, BX, CY, DHR, FCS, FCX, FITB, KEY, LDK, MMR, MS, NOK, NUE, OMC, PBCT, PENN, PEP, PM, PPG, SHW, SNA, SON, TSM, TZOO, UNH, UNP, VZ Comment! [Earnings]
- Wednesday, April 17, 1:38 PM "Too little has been changed to avoid a repeat of the problem," says the Boston Fed's Eric Rosengren, arguing banks with broker-dealer units continue to hold too little capital. "The status quo represents an ongoing financial stability risk." The largest ones still standing are MS, UBS, GS, C, DB, CS, BAC, BCS, and JPM, and each of the U.S. ones passed the Fed stress test and are returning capital. 5 Comments [Financials]
- Monday, April 15, 12:28 PM The Brown/Vitter bill being rolled out in Congress is essentially Armageddon to the TBTF banks, says Goldman, seeing it as mandating another $1.1T in equity for the banking system. Banks would need 12 years of earnings to build this amount organically, though the bill would give just 5 - say goodbye to lending. Break up the banks? BAC, C, JPM, and WFC all have multiple divisions with more than $400M in assets - the level at which the bill gets tough on lenders. 22 Comments [Financials]
- Friday, April 12, 6:00 AM A break-up of the big banks is on the minds of none other than analysts at the banks themselves. Wells Fargo reckons shareholders might "intensify demands" for it, especially as the likes of Bank of America (BAC), Citigroup (C) and JPMorgan (JPM) trade at discounts of 25-30% to more-focused rivals. JPM's analysts have questioned the viability of running an investment bank "as part of a universal banking business." 7 Comments [Financials, Top Stories]
- Friday, April 12, 3:31 AM Morgan Stanley's (MS) private-equity arm and Apax Partners are reportedly thinking about selling Chicago-based insurance brokerage Hub International in a transaction that could be worth $2B. The considerations come six years after Morgan Stanley and Apax took Hub private for $1.8B. 1 Comment [Financials, M&A]
- Tuesday, April 9, 6:43 PM A Goldman Sachs note helps explain some of the recent weakness in big bank stocks and adds a warning signal: Banks that gain more than 10% in Q1 usually give back nearly all those profits in Q2 when future earnings estimates begin falling. Goldman's top concern heading into Q1 earnings is that "lackluster fundamentals could lead to a negative EPS revision cycle (which has been the trend the past few years)." 5 Comments [Financials, Quick Ideas]
- Tuesday, April 9, 11:29 AM Banks this Friday will begin making payments to ~4.2M borrowers whose homes were in any stage of foreclosure in 2009-10. The payments, which will range from $300 to $125K, are compensation for the robo-signing scandal when bank employees said foreclosure documents were correct without reviewing them. Part of the settlement: BAC, C, GS, HBC, JPM, MET, MS, PNC, SAN, STI, USB, WFC. 34 Comments [Financials, U.S. Economy]
- Tuesday, April 9, 9:48 AM JPMorgan Chase (JPM) will lead big U.S. banks in job cuts with 17K expected through 2014, according to Bloomberg, after the six largest U.S. banks announced cuts to 1.8%, or 21K positions, during Q1. The housing rebound means many of the cuts will come in foreclosure units. Banks may tell more about their personnel plans starting this Friday when JPM and Wells Fargo (WFC) report Q1 results. 1 Comment [Financials]
- Monday, April 8, 4:36 PM Seemingly often on the wrong side of broker defections, but maybe turning it around of late (I, II), Morgan Stanley Wealth Management (MS) adds four teams with $765M AUM. The moving brokers are coming from BofA, JPMorgan, and Wells Fargo. Comment! [Financials]
- Monday, April 8, 3:51 PM Goldman Sachs (GS) and Morgan Stanley (MS) have Q1 estimates cut at Sandler O'Neill, which says fixed-income, currencies and commodities trading has been solid, "but less favorable" than hoped. Sandler's estimates remain above consensus, with Goldman EPS now at $4 vs. $3.80 and Morgan at $0.60 vs. $0.57. Comment! [Financials]
- Sunday, April 7, 4:19 AM A bipartisan Senate bill would force all banks to hold capital of 10% and those with over $400B in assets an extra 5%. The strictest provisions would hit six banks: JPMorgan (JPM), BofA (BAC), Citigroup (C), Wells Fargo (WFC), Goldman Sachs (GS) and Morgan Stanley (MS). Analysts reckon the bill has little chance of becoming law, although its authors reckon support for the measures are growing. 34 Comments [Financials]
- Tuesday, April 2, 8:18 AM Credit Suisse takes metaphorical chips off the table, downgrading MS, SCHW, and CME to Hold after nice runs for each has them exceeding price targets established when the bank made them Buys. Morgan's top ideas in the financial sector: GS, LAZ, ICE, APO, BX, CG. 1 Comment [Financials]
- Tuesday, April 2, 7:18 AM Bank of America's (BAC) prime brokerage unit hires former Morgan Stanley (MS) executive Deepak Abraham as Asia Pacific head of capital strategy. Abraham used to run Morgan's MENA prime brokerage operations. 1 Comment [Financials]

David White: That was my point. MS had the biggest brokerage share of the IPO. They are sure to have recommended FB to many clients.
