Morgan Stanley Reports Lackluster Earnings: Core, continuing operations EPS $0.02

Morgan Stanley Summary Q3 2011 Morgan Stanley financial performance was inflated by a +$3.4 billion Debt Valuation Adjustment, an unrealized gain, which was recorded in revenues. This DVA inflated net revenues, operating income, net income, earnings per share, operating margin, and net margin. Earnings per share were reported as $1.15, including the DVA of +$1.12 and discontinued operations of +$0.01. This results in an earnings per share from core, continuing operations of a lackluster $0.02. Morgan Stanley has yet to prove the core business can sustain growth and investor confidence.
