MS earned more than double in FQ4 2024 compared to the same quarter last year. In Q4 of 2024, the bank’s revenue was 25% higher than estimates while GAAP EPS exceeded expectations by $0.53. The stock showed a continuous uptick in the previous year with a gain of over 60%. The bank’s shares just reached a 52-week high on the back of impressive earnings from the banking sector.
