Morgan Stanley profit jumps 87 percent


    (Reuters) - Morgan Stanley reported an 87 percent rise in third-quarter earnings as the Wall Street bank's trading and wealth management businesses benefited from increased client activity.

    Net income attributable to common shareholders rose to $1.65 billion, or 84 cents per share, in the three months ended Sept.30 from $880 million, or 45 cents per share, a year earlier.

    Analysts on average had expected earnings of 54 cents per share, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S. It was not immediately clear whether the reported figure was comparable.
