Morgan Stanley stock slips after blowout 2025 results — what traders watch next week
New York, Jan 16, 2026, 19:48 ET — Trading after hours. Morgan Stanley shares dipped 1.1%, ending Friday at $189.09, despite the firm posting record annual revenue. CEO Ted Pick flagged “geopolitics are front and center” amid a “complicated” environment. During the session, shares fluctuated between $188.96 and $192.69.
