Morgan Stanley Stock Holds Steady at $140.88 as Investors Watch for Next Move
Strong dividend yield and steady trading keep investor confidence intact
New York, August 6, 2025 – Morgan Stanley (NYSE: MS) started the week with a calm and steady performance in early trading. By 9:32 a.m. GMT-4, the stock was priced at $140.88 USD, barely moving from its opening price of $141.22, which also marked the day’s high. The lowest point so far has been $140.85, showing just how narrow today’s trading range has been.
The financial giant currently boasts a market capitalization of $22.54 trillion (in local currency notation) and trades at a P/E ratio of 15.96—a sign that investors see the valuation as fair compared to the broader market. With a dividend yield of 2.84% and a quarterly dividend of $1.00 per share, Morgan Stanley continues to appeal to those seeking stable, income-generating investments.
Over the past year, the stock has climbed as high as $145.48 and dipped as low as $92.01, proving its resilience during an unpredictable year for global markets. For now, investors seem content to hold their positions, keeping an eye on upcoming economic data and corporate earnings that could nudge the stock in either direction.
Morgan Stanley’s steady hand in volatile times reinforces its reputation as one of the world’s leading investment banks and wealth managers. While today’s price action may be quiet, history suggests it’s often the calm before the next big move in the Morgan Stanley stock price.
