Morgan Stanley reported Q2 profits and revenues on Tuesday that exceeded analysts' expectations, buoyed by record wealth management results.
"We delivered solid results in a challenging market environment," said Gorman in the earnings statement. "The quarter began with macroeconomic uncertainties and moderate client activity but ended on a more constructive note." Despite lower market levels causing a decline in some year-over-year rates, second-quarter wealth management revenue increased by 16% to $6.66 billion, driven by higher interest income, surpassing analysts' estimated $6.5 billion according to FactSet.

Segundo Daniel Mazini, presidente da Amazon Brasil, o período de descontos confirmou que os consumidores brasileiros valorizam cada vez mais os benefícios do Prime, as ofertas exclusivas e a ampla seleção de produtos com frete grátis e entrega rápida.
Investment banking revenue of $1.08 billion remained largely unchanged from the previous year and essentially met analysts' expectations. Gorman stated during a conference call on Tuesday that the bank's board is still evaluating three internal CEO candidates, and he will stay on as executive chairman once his successor is promoted. Furthermore, the rate hikes that have disrupted the industry may be nearing an end, he told analysts.
