TREE NEWS reports: Morgan Stanley reported higher third-quarter profit, with equity trading revenue of $5.8 billion beating analysts’ $4.9 billion estimate. The bank’s wealth management unit drew a record $23.2 billion in net new assets, half of which Morgan Stanley said was tied to IPOs. Its investment banking business participated in several large listings this year, including SpaceX.

Equity trading's beat against estimates suggests markets revenue is holding up even as the rate backdrop shifts. The open question is whether IPO-driven asset flows prove lumpy, since they depend on a calendar the bank doesn't control.
