Morgan Stanley: what insiders have been doing
Morgan Stanley, founded in 1924, is a Finance & Banking company based in New York City, United States. Its latest reported headcount is 80,006 employees (2023). Its directors and officers file their transactions with SEC (Form 4). Between 18 October 2025 and 18 October 2026, 23 insiders published 71 filings.
The flow runs one way only: 25 sales worth €54.8M, from 9 insiders, and no purchase. Pick Edward filed the largest sale, €14.2M, on 31 October 2025.
Compared with its exchange (5,813 companies, median 19 filings), a count of 71 filings is above the norm. The full history, which starts in 2016, counts 2 purchases against 77 sales. The 10-K for the year ended 31 December 2025 shows 16.86 bn USD of net income and a dividend of 3.85 USD per share.
Typically, a trade is published a median of 1 day after it takes place. US insiders must file a Form 4 within two business days of a trade. Keep in mind that insiders sell for many reasons unrelated to the outlook, from tax bills to estate planning.
