Morgan Stanley Posts 'Strong' Q1 on Trading Strength, Valuation Appears Stretched, Oppenheimer Says

Morgan Stanley (MS) reported a "strong" Q1 driven by trading and investment banking, but Oppenheimer said in a note Thursday the stock's valuation appears stretched relative to its historical levels.Q1 results came in well above its estimates, helped mainly by stronger trading revenue and better investment banking fees, with Morgan Stanley benefiting from strength in equities and select fixed income businesses driven more by business mix than a broader industry shift, Oppenheimer said.Banking revenue improved sharply, supported by advisory, equity underwriting, and debt issuance. The pipeline remained firm and pointed to a gradual recovery ahead. Expenses were broadly in line with expectations despite higher revenue which reflects cost discipline alongside continued investment in talent and technology.Morgan Stanley's capital position remained strong, with share buybacks higher than expected and management indicating that potential regulatory changes could be broadly capital neutral.Oppenheimer kept its perform rating for Morgan Stanley, adding that its current valuation looks elevated relative to history, and said it prefers Jefferies Financial (JEF) over Morgan Stanley for now.Price: $188.24, Change: $-3.38, Percent Change: -1.76%

Bank of America's Q1 Results Could Support Re-Rating, UBS Says

Bank of America (BAC) reported "clean" Q1 earnings per share of $1.11, beating consensus of $1.02 and UBS estimate of $1.03, with the investment firm saying the results could support a re-rating but the upcoming earnings call and guidance will be key for sustained outperformance.The bank reported deposit costs of 1.99%, beating consensus by 7 basis points. UBS Securities said this is critical as Wells Fargo (WFC) missed on this front, and a differentiated path on deposit rates could be a breakout catalyst for Bank of America.Investment banking fee of $1.84 billion was in line with consensus and did not have the "beat factor" seen at Goldman Sachs (GS) and JPMorgan (JPM), with advisory, equity capital markets, and debt capital markets all coming in line, according to the note.Q1 pre-provision net revenue beat of 4% may not be as notable as at Citi (C), JPMorgan, and Goldman Sachs, the brokerage said in a Wednesday note. However, it is meaningful for a stock with an undemanding valuation. This is especially as expenses fell in line with guidance and the company generated 290 basis points of year-over-year operating leverage.UBS said guidance by the bank is "critical for share performance".The firm has a buy rating on Bank of America with a price target of $62.Price: $53.75, Change: $-0.57, Percent Change: -1.05%
