Co-President Simkowitz sells 14,690 MS shares at $189.24; holds 365,802 post-transaction amid +18.8% 30-day rally.
Daniel A. Simkowitz, Co-President of Morgan Stanley, sold 14,690 shares for $2,779,987.02 on 2026-04-17 at $189.24, reducing holdings by 3.9% to 365,802 shares. This sale follows a strong 30-day gain of 18.8% in the stock and occurs near the 52-week high of $191.62. Across his prior trades at Morgan Stanley, Simkowitz achieved well-timed outcomes on 2 of 4 measurable 90-day intervals, with mixed results: his five prior MS transactions produced 90-day returns ranging from -22.5% to +15.2%. At the cross-ticker level, his historical sells have shown a 50% well-timed rate with an average 90-day return of -5.3%, suggesting modest predictive value in his market timing. The company's fundamentals remain solid—$4.6B net income, +14.4% annual revenue growth, and a P/E of 15.26—so the transaction itself does not indicate fundamental deterioration.
