What's Going On With Morgan Stanley Stock Today?

Deutsche Bank analyst Brian Bedell upgraded Cboe Global Markets, Inc. (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CBOE#BATS">CBOE</a>) to Buy from Hold and raised the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/cboe/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target to $222</a>.
The analyst&#8217;s bullish stance reflects their updated outlook that CBOE will sustain strong revenue growth through at least 2025.
Bedell expects continued volatility in equity markets, especially following the U.S. elections, which will likely increase demand for index <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/11/41869001/heres-how-trumps-policies-might-shape-the-markets-future" rel="noreferrer noopener">and volatility options and futures</a>.
Additionally, the analyst anticipates organic growth driven by ongoing product innovation and rising adoption of options, particularly with the upcoming launch of index options on Robinhood.
Also, the analyst projects stronger revenue growth to lead to positive operating leverage next year, allowing management to exceed its expectations for operating margin stability, as discussed on the recent third-quarter earnings call.
Notably, this month, the company reported third-quarter adjusted EPS of $2.22, which surpassed the $2.19 estimate, and sales of $532.0 million, beating <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/n41680696/cboe-global-markets-reports-results-for-third-quarter-2024" rel="noreferrer noopener">the expected $530.8 million</a>.
The analyst adds that along with a modest level of share repurchases, this should support high single-digit EPS growth in 2025 and 2026, surpassing their previous forecast of low-to-mid single-digit growth.
Overall, the analyst revised the forecasts for the company, now projecting 8% revenue growth in 2025 and 6% growth in 2026, up from the previous estimates of 6% and 3%, respectively.
Despite robust growth in index product revenue of 55% and 35% in 2022 and 2023, the analyst anticipates index revenue will still grow by at least 10% in 2025, even with challenging comparisons and high volume levels.

Cboe Upgraded To Buy: Deutsche Bank Sees Strong Revenue Growth And Margin Gains Through 2025

J.P. Morgan analyst Kian Abouhossein expressed the view on Goldman Sachs Group Inc.&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>) third quarter financial results.
Today, the company reported revenue of&nbsp;$12.70 billion, beating the consensus of&nbsp;$11.87 billion, and EPS of&nbsp;$8.40,&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41329766/goldman-sachs-q3-earnings-investment-banking-fees-surges-20-asset-wealth-management-up-16-but-fixed" rel="noreferrer noopener">beating the consensus of&nbsp;$7.03</a>.
In the conference call, CEO David Solomon highlighted strong client demand and a rising deal backlog and expects alternative fundraising to exceed $60 billion in 2024.
He noted the firm remained below 10-year averages for equity and M&amp;A volumes and stressed the need to enhance margins in asset and wealth management.
Solomon also mentioned that the direction of travel at this point is &#8220;back to the core business.&#8221;
On the other hand, Goldman&#8217;s CFO stated that the General Motors credit card partnership transfer is expected to close in the third quarter of 2025.
J.P. Morgan analyst, with an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/GS/analyst-ratings">Overweight rating</a>, writes that GS&#8217;s results are strong relative to the cautious guidance provided at the recent September Financials conference. Notably, Equity S&amp;T revenues reached $3.5 billion, significantly outperforming peers reported so far, with a substantial ongoing margin, adds the analyst.
Goldman Sachs has shown strength in its core franchises, and Abouhossein anticipates its shares will outperform peers.
The analyst anticipates low single-digit percentage upgrades to the consensus EPS for 2024.

Charles Schwab Q3 Shines: Client Assets Reach $9.92T, Revenue Hits $4.85B, Debt Reduction & More

On Tuesday,&nbsp;Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>)&nbsp;shares are trading higher after the company reported revenue of&nbsp;$12.70 billion for the&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.goldmansachs.com/pressroom/press-releases/current/pdfs/2024-q3-results.pdf" rel="noreferrer noopener">third </a>quarter, beating the consensus of&nbsp;$11.87 billion.
Sales increased&nbsp;7% Y/Y, reflecting higher net revenues in Global Banking &amp; Markets and Asset &amp; Wealth Management, partially offset by lower net revenues in Platform Solutions.
Global Banking &amp; Markets revenues were&nbsp;$8.55 billion, up&nbsp;7% Y/Y. This was boosted by a&nbsp;20% Y/Y increase in investment banking fees to&nbsp;$1.87 billion, led by higher revenues in Debt and Equity underwriting. Slight gains in advisory revenues contributed significantly to this growth.
Net revenues in Fixed Income, Currency, and Commodities (FICC) were&nbsp;$2.96 billion,&nbsp;down 12% Y/Y, primarily reflecting lower net revenues in FICC intermediation on weak net revenues in interest rate products and commodities.
Asset &amp; Wealth Management revenue was&nbsp;$3.75 billion for the&nbsp;third quarter of 2024,&nbsp;16% higher than last year.
The U.S. financial services giant reported EPS of&nbsp;$8.40,&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">beating the consensus of&nbsp;$7.03</a>.
Provision for credit losses was&nbsp;$397 million for the&nbsp;third quarter, compared with $7 million a year ago, reflecting net provisions related to the credit card portfolio (driven by net charge-offs).
Dividend: On October 11, 2024, the Board of Directors disclosed the quarterly dividend of $3.00&nbsp;per common share, payable on December 30, 2024, to shareholders of record on December 2, 2024.

Global core liquid assets averaged $447 billion in the third quarter of 2024, up from $424 billion in the second quarter of 2024, reflecting a positive trend in liquidity.

PureStream Powers Up: Nasdaq's Cutting-Edge Trading Tech Eyes European Expansion

CME Group Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CME#NASDAQ">CME</a>) planned the expansion of its Nikkei 225 futures offerings by introducing yen- and U.S. dollar-denominated Micro Nikkei futures on <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/10/n41109808/cme-group-to-launch-yen-and-u-s-dollar-denominated-micro-nikkei-futures-on-october-28" rel="noreferrer noopener">October 28, pending regulatory approval</a>.
These new micro contracts, with contract sizes of 50 yen and $0.50, will allow traders to capture Japanese benchmark trading opportunities more precisely, enhancing CME Group&#8217;s current offerings of standard and E-mini Nikkei contracts.
Micro Nikkei futures will expand CME Group&#8217;s suite of micro equity futures contracts, which have traded over 2.9 billion contracts to date.
The recent trading highlights include 220 million cumulative Nikkei futures contracts traded since 2004, an average daily volume of 41,000 contracts year-to-date—up 9% year-over-year—and a year-to-date open interest of 67,000 contracts, reflecting a 2% increase year-over-year.
Paul Woolman, Global Head of Equity Index Products at CME Group, said, &#8220;The addition of micro-sized yen- and U.S. dollar-denominated Nikkei futures contracts will allow global market participants to gain efficient access to the broader Japanese stock market, while also mitigating FX exposure and allowing more granular trading capabilities.&#8221;
&#8220;Year-to-date, nearly 75% of trades in our Nikkei futures occurred outside of&nbsp;Tokyo&nbsp;cash hours, underscoring the need for around-the-clock liquidity for global market participants to manage their equity risk. Similar to their larger parent contacts, the smaller size futures contracts will also offer greater potential capital and margin efficiency.&#8221;
Last week, CME disclosed the expansion of its battery metals suite with the launch of a Spodumene CIF China (Fastmarkets) Futures contract set for <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/09/n41084773/cme-group-to-expand-battery-metals-suite-with-launch-of-spodumene-futures-on-october-28" rel="noreferrer noopener">October 28, 2024, pending regulatory approval</a>.

Nasdaq's AxiomSL Solution Powers Digital Banking, Boosts Presence In Latin America

The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>) shares are trading lower premarket Tuesday. On Monday, the company&#8217;s CEO, David Solomon, reportedly stated that trading revenue will likely fall by 10% in the third quarter due to sluggish conditions last month.
However, Solomon noted that investment banking is improving, although activity from financial sponsors hasn&#8217;t rebounded as expected. He remains optimistic that private equity-led deals will recover by the end of this year and into 2025, reported Reuters.
According to Solomon, Goldman Sachs is narrowing its focus on the consumer business. The CEO highlighted the bank&#8217;s sale of loans to small and medium-sized businesses and its plan to exit a credit card partnership with General Motors as examples of its retreat from retail sectors, a strategy that started in late 2022.
Solomon said, &#8220;The combination of those things this quarter will likely have an approximately $400 million pre-tax impact, largely showing up in revenues.&#8221;
In July, the bank reported sales increased&nbsp;17%&nbsp;Y/Y, reflecting higher net revenues in Global Banking and markets and Asset and wealth Management. Also, the U.S. financial services giant reported GAAP EPS of&nbsp;$8.62,&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">beating the consensus of&nbsp;$8.35</a>.
Goldman Sachs plans to cut over 1,300 employees from its global workforce in an annual review to eliminate low performers, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.wsj.com/finance/banking/goldman-sachs-to-lay-off-over-1-300-workers-f1d92b88?mod=latest_headlines" rel="noreferrer noopener">WSJ</a> reported in August.

What's Going On With Goldman Sachs Shares Tuesday?

Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>) has reportedly agreed to sell Blanchardstown Centre, Ireland&#8217;s largest shopping mall,<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/08/40364199/heres-how-much-goldman-sachs-invested-in-bitcoin-etfs-despite-saying-theyre-not-believers-" rel="noreferrer noopener"> to credit firm&nbsp;Strategic Value Partners.</a>
The U.S. investment firm, which put the shopping mall for sale last year, aspiring about €650 million ($713.37 million), is selling for a price lower than that, reported Bloomberg, citing people familiar with the discussions.
Goldman Sachs purchased the mall from Blackstone Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BX#NYSE">BX</a>) in late 2020, when it was esteemed at €750 million.
The complex has 180 stores and eateries with 16 million visitors a year. Occupants include Zara and Hollister.
After a decade of disruption from online shopping, malls are attracting investors again, the report mentioned.

Recent declines have made space more affordable for retailers, reducing the risk of missed payments. Additionally, tenants benefit from 14 consecutive quarters of rising consumer spending in Dublin, the report highlighted, citing data compiled for the city&#8217;s local governments.
&#8220;Capital values for prime shopping centers in Europe have fallen more than 40% since the peak and rental values in the best malls are now increasing, so if yields stabilize there is value recovery potential,&#8221;&nbsp;Sue Munden, a senior analyst at&nbsp;Bloomberg Intelligence, said about the region&#8217;s retail properties in general.
According to&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga Pro</a>, GS stock has gained over 50% in the past year.

Goldman Sachs Offloads Ireland's Largest Mall To Strategic Value Partners: Report

The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>) reportedly stated that the winner of the U.S. presidential election in November will have limited options to significantly increase <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/oil">domestic oil supply next year</a>.
What Happened: The bank noted that low strategic petroleum reserve stocks and potential regulatory easing are unlikely to significantly boost U.S. oil supply in the short term, though they could impact long-term supply.
Oil prices edged up on Friday following U.S. economic data that exceeded analyst forecasts, boosting investor expectations for higher crude oil demand from the world&#8217;s largest energy consumer.
Brent crude futures for September were trading around $82 per barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude for September was about $78.
Goldman Sachs forecasts Brent prices will range from $75 to $90 in 2025, assuming steady GDP growth, stable oil demand, and market balancing by OPEC and its allies.
Tariffs could lower oil prices by up to $19 if the Federal Reserve delays interest rate cuts past 2025 due to high core inflation. Brent could fall to $62 in Q4 2025, vs. the current forecast of $81.
The bank added, &#8220;While there is a lot of uncertainty about trade policy, tariffs on U.S. crude imports seem unlikely.&#8221;

Why It Matters: For the past six years in a row, the U.S. <a href="https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=61545">produced</a> more crude oil than any nation at any time, according to International Energy Statistics.

What&#8217;s Next: Goldman Sachs predicts oil prices could drop by up to $11 per barrel next year due to weaker demand and GDP, particularly if the U.S. imposes a 10% tariff on goods imports.
Price Action: GS shares are up 0.37% at $493.52 premarket at the last check Friday.

Goldman Sachs and Betterment Launch Tax-Smart Bonds Portfolio for Savvy Investors: Details

RBC Capital Markets analyst Gerard Cassidy raised the price target of Morgan Stanley (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MS#NYSE">MS</a>) to $108 from $91, maintaining a Sector Perform rating following strong second-quarter FY24 results.
Yesterday, the bank reported EPS of $1.82, beating&nbsp;the consensus of $1.65, and sales of $15.02 billion, exceeding <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/07/39793333/morgan-stanley-q2-earnings-higher-profits-as-investment-banking-activity-rebounds-on-track-to-reach" rel="noreferrer noopener">the consensus of $14.30 billion</a>.
The analyst writes that the bank&#8217;s diversified business model, including Institutional Securities, Wealth Management, and Investment Management, drove strong quarterly results with mid-teens ROTCE, led by its premier investment banking and trading operations.
If market conditions remain favorable through the latter half of 2024, Morgan Stanley is poised to sustain these advantages, buoyed by its strong presence in investment banking and trading sectors, says the analyst.
Given the company&#8217;s strong excess capital position, the analyst anticipates the bank will reward shareholders with common share repurchases and increased dividends, which should result in the company returning up to 100% of earnings.
Cassidy adjusted the 2024 and 2025 EPS projections to $6.95 and $7.80, up from $6.67 and $7.75, respectively. This revision reflects anticipated gains in net interest income and non-interest income, tempered by increased expenses.

Schwab's Asset Management Fees Soar, But Interest Income Decline Weighs on Q2: Details

JP Morgan analyst Kian Abouhossein presented their take on The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>) second-quarter FY24 <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/07/39769910/goldman-sachs-q2-earnings-revenue-and-eps-beat-investment-banking-fees-up-21-hikes-dividend" rel="noreferrer noopener">earnings results reported today</a>.
The bank reported revenue of&nbsp;$12.730 billion, beating the consensus of&nbsp;$12.456 billion, and GAAP EPS of&nbsp;$8.62,&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings" rel="noreferrer noopener">beating the consensus of&nbsp;$8.35</a>.
The analyst stated that Goldman Sachs&#8217; reported EPS of $8.62 is 5% above their estimate of $8.24. The bank&#8217;s $3.5 billion share buyback during the quarter significantly exceeded JPMorgan&#8217;s $1 billion, the analyst noted.
Abouhossein added that despite the buyback occurring before the Fed Stress Test results, which raised the SCB by 90bps to 6.4% and set a 13.9% Standardized CET1 ratio requirement from October 2024, strong earnings generation offers confidence in future capital returns.
However, uncertainty remains regarding the finalization of Basel 3 regulations, noted the analyst.
Abouhossein anticipates low-single-digit EPS upgrades to consensus for 2024. The analyst has <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/GS/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">rated the stock Overweight.</a>

Under her leadership, S&amp;P Global Sustainable also achieved 24% revenue growth in 2023.
William D. Green, Chair of the Board&#8217;s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, said, &#8220;The Board conducted a thorough and thoughtful process to identify the best leader for S&amp;P Global&#8217;s next chapter, and it is a strong testament to our leadership team&#8217;s strength and capabilities that we have the ideal candidate in Martina.&#8221;&nbsp;
Additionally, the company said that Yann Le Pallec, current&nbsp;Executive Managing Director and Head of Global Ratings Services at S&amp;P Global Ratings, will succeed Ms. Cheung as President of S&amp;P Global Ratings, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/06/n39537506/s-p-global-ratings-appoints-yann-le-pallec-as-next-president" rel="noreferrer noopener">effective November 1, 2024</a>.
Douglas L. Peterson, current President and CEO of S&amp;P Global, commented, &#8220;I had the privilege of working closely with Yann during my time as President of the division, when he oversaw analytics for&nbsp;Europe, the&nbsp;Middle East&nbsp;and&nbsp;Africa. Yann is a great leader and an exceptional person, and I am excited to see the great things he will accomplish for the division and for S&amp;P Global.&#8221;&nbsp;

Leadership Shuffle At S&P Global: Picks Insider Martina Cheung As CEO

Nasdaq, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NDAQ#NASDAQ">NDAQ</a>) and The European Energy Exchange <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/32917720" rel="noreferrer noopener">deal could reportedly face</a> a full-scale investigation by EU antitrust regulators unless the Deutsche Boerse unit enhances its measures to address competition concerns.
EEX is aiming to acquire Nasdaq&#8217;s European power trading and clearing business, Nasdaq Power, whose platform is meant for users and companies in the Nordics.
The EU antitrust watchdog is unlikely to seek feedback from users and rivals on the already submitted remedies, indicating that these measures are insufficient, reported Reuters.
Notably, remedies were submitted to the EU on May 27, though details were not made public.
As per the report, the European Commission, the EU competition enforcer, is expected to open a full-scale investigation into the deal after its preliminary review ends on June 26, unless EEX strengthens its remedies in the coming days.
Last year, the parties said the deal posed no significant threat to competition in Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Norway, or any other EU country. They asserted that it would not eliminate competition between the two companies and noted that market reaction had been positive.
