Morgan Stanley (MS) Earnings Expected to Grow: Should You Buy?

Morgan Stanley is expected to report Q3 2026 earnings of $2.88 per share with 8.2% revenue growth, but recent analyst revisions and a negative Earnings ESP of -0.20% suggest limited upside surprise potential. Similarly, Goldman Sachs faces headwinds with an -8.71% Earnings ESP despite expected 9% EPS growth, making both stocks difficult earnings-beat candidates despite their strong historical performance.
