Akram Raja, Deputy Chief Financial Officer, sold 17,500 shares of Morgan Stanley at $136.01 on 2025-01-21, reducing his holdings from 98,939 shares to 81,439 shares (-17.7%). The sale occurred near the 52-week high of $137.87 and follows strong near-term momentum: the stock is up 8.4% over the prior 30 days and 17.9% over 90 days. His cross-ticker track record shows 4 prior open-market sales with an average 90-day return of +3.3%, though only 25.00% were well-timed (negative 90d returns). At Morgan Stanley specifically, his prior 4 sales showed mixed outcomes: only 1 of 4 had negative 90-day returns. Fundamentally, Morgan Stanley reported latest-quarter revenue of $15,383,000,000.00 and net income of $3,188,000,000.00, with modest annual growth of +0.9% and a P/E of 19.83. The sale is neither clearly aligned with nor contradictory to his historical timing pattern.
