Morgan Stanley's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 26 January 2000. So if you had owned 1 share the day before the split, the next day you would own 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Morgan Stanley shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Morgan Stanley shares which in turn could have impacted Morgan Stanley's share price.

Beta measures a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Morgan Stanley's is 1.336. This would suggest that Morgan Stanley's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).

Dividend payout ratio: 30.24% of net profits
Recently Morgan Stanley has paid out, on average, around 30.24% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.83% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Morgan Stanley shareholders could enjoy a 2.83% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Morgan Stanley's case, that would currently equate to about $0 per share.
While Morgan Stanley's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Morgan Stanley may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Morgan Stanley's most recent dividend payout was on 13 February 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 30 October 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
