Morgan Stanley: Some Of The Preferred Shares Still Yield 7%
Morgan Stanley's strong Q3 performance saw a 17% non-interest revenue increase and a 37% rise in net income attributable to common shareholders. The Series E preferred shares offer a fixed 7.125% dividend, but there's a risk of the bank calling them due to falling interest rates. A long position in these preferred shares hinges on Morgan Stanley not calling them soon. Buying close to $25 mitigates call risk.
