モルガン・スタンレー、トレーディングの好調を背景に「好調な」第1四半期決算を発表、オッペンハイマーは株価評価は割高に見えると指摘

-- モルガン・スタンレー(MS)はトレーディングと投資銀行業務に牽引され、「好調な」第1四半期決算を発表したが、オッペンハイマーは木曜日のレポートで、株価は過去の水準と比較して割高に見えると指摘した。 第1四半期決算は、主にトレーディング収益の増加と投資銀行手数料の好調により、予想を大きく上回った。オッペンハイマーによると、モルガン・スタンレーは、株式および一部の債券事業の好調から恩恵を受けたが、これは業界全体の変化というよりも、事業構成の変化によるものだという。 銀行業務収益は、アドバイザリー、株式引受、債券発行に支えられ、大幅に改善した。パイプラインは堅調で、今後の緩やかな回復を示唆している。収益増加にもかかわらず、費用は概ね予想通りだった。これは、人材とテクノロジーへの継続的な投資に加え、コスト管理の徹底を反映している。 モルガン・スタンレーの資本基盤は引き続き強固で、自社株買いは予想を上回り、経営陣は潜在的な規制変更は概ね資本に影響を与えない可能性があると示唆している。 オッペンハイマーはモルガン・スタンレーの投資判断を「パフォーム」に据え置き、現在の株価は過去の水準と比較して割高に見えるとし、現時点ではモルガン・スタンレーよりもジェフリーズ・ファイナンシャル(JEF)を推奨すると述べた。
