Morgan Stanley (MS)

Discounting its cash flows would put the shares at $1019.95: 5 times the price of $200.18. A gap that size says more about a model than about the market. It usually means heavy debt, where a small error in the value of the business becomes a large one in the value of the shares, or a business our method does not describe. We do not publish a verdict on this one.
