Morgan Stanley reported better-than-expected third-quarter results Wednesday, even as investor disappointment over its wealth management business and the prolonged slump in investment banking weighed heavily on shares — prompting us to lower our price target on the Club holding.

Institutional securities Investment banking revenues fell 27% from last year, as lower advisory revenues and fixed-income underwriting revenues were partially offset by higher equity underwriting.
