  • The firm’s expense efficiency ratio for the full year of 2022 was 73%, or 72% excluding integration-related expenses [Neutral]
  • The firm’s standardized Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio was 15.3% [Neutral]
  • Institutional Securities reported a full year net revenue of $24.4 billion, reflecting lower activity in Investment Banking due to uncertain macroeconomic environment, but with strong performance in Fixed Income [Neutral]
  • Wealth Management delivered record full year net revenues of $24.4 billion, a pre-tax margin of 27.0%, and added net new assets of $311 billion, representing a full year 6% annualized growth rate from beginning period assets [Positive]
  • Investment Management reported full year net revenues of $5.4 billion and AUM of $1.3 trillion in a challenging market environment [Neutral]

Overall, the company’s revenue and net income have decreased in comparison to the previous year, which would likely have a negative impact on the stock price. However, the company’s wealth management business performed well, with record revenues, pre-tax margin, and added net new assets, which could positively impact the stock price. Additionally, the company’s strong capital position, including the return on tangible common equity, and expense efficiency ratio, could also be seen positively by investors.
