According to TechFlow, a Morgan Stanley research report dated October 13, 2026 shows that for the week ended October 9, U.S. internet stocks rose by approximately 2% on a market-cap weighted basis. The sector's forward 12-month EV/EBITDA stands at approximately 12.6x, representing a discount of roughly 7% and 16% against the five-year and ten-year averages, respectively. Morgan Stanley rates the North American internet sector as "attractive," although valuations among top companies remain inconsistent. Amazon and Meta trade at approximately 13% and 10% below their respective two-year averages, while Alphabet trades at a premium of about 4%. The report further estimates that treating stock-based compensation as cash expenses leads to median increases in expected 2026 EV/EBITDA of approximately 26% for e-commerce companies and 38% for digital media companies, indicating that equity compensation costs significantly influence valuation outcomes.

Morgan Stanley notes that the memory super cycle is real, but the market continues to price based on the old cycle, failing to reflect full valuation multiples. Memory stocks have already rallied 9-fold since the cycle's inception, amid moderating earnings revision breadth. The firm recommends overweighting the AI compute and networking supply chains, taking a selective approach to memory with a preference for Samsung, SK Hynix, and Kioxia.

according to an MSX announcement, MSX will list WFC (Wells Fargo) tokenized stock on October 12, 2026 (UTC+8), supporting both spot and futures trading. Wells Fargo reported Q2 2026 revenue of $22.622 billion, EPS of $2.00, and net interest income of $12.317 billion, up 5% year-over-year; the company will release its Q3 earnings report on October 13.
Odaily reports: Amy Oldenburg, Head of Digital Asset Strategy at Morgan Stanley, stated that by 2030, the market size of tokenized real-world assets (RWA) will reach $3 trillion to $10 trillion, a prediction she said is "without a doubt." She noted that industry growth drivers are mutually reinforcing, institutional investors' attention to and participation in related sectors continues to increase, and a clear sense of FOMO (fear of missing out) has emerged in the institutional market. Morgan Stanley previously expected to begin supporting tokenized stock trading on its alternative trading system (ATS) in the first quarter of 2027, a delay from its previously announced plan for the second half of 2026.

According to Chaoxiang Research, Morgan Stanley's October 9, 2026 research report indicates that the S&P 500 index declined 0.5% on a market-cap-weighted basis and 5% on an equal-weighted basis in September; the top six contributing stocks accounted for a combined positive impact of approximately 190 basis points, while the remaining constituents dragged down performance by about 240 basis points combined; the median forward P/E ratio for AI and semiconductor stocks stood at approximately 32x, above the ten-year average of roughly 19x.
According to TechFlow, a Morgan Stanley research report dated October 8, 2026, notes that just four weeks after the launch of the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, component orders have been cut by at least 15%. Largan Precision stated that customers have reduced orders, bringing delivery lead times down to 1.5 to 4 weeks. Morgan Stanley maintains its iPhone shipment forecast at 57 million units for the September quarter and 76 million units for the December quarter. Morgan Stanley assesses that the component order cuts have not yet translated into end-product manufacturing reductions, with neither Foxconn nor TSMC cutting capacity. If the current demand trend persists, the risk of production downgrades from 2027 onward will increase. The firm maintains an Overweight rating on Apple with a $355 target price. Changes in orders for Foxconn and TSMC will be the next key focus.

According to Chaoxiang Research, a Morgan Stanley research report dated October 7, 2026, indicates that Oracle's 10-year USD bond yield has reached 7.5%, while its 5-year credit default swap (CDS) has risen from 57 basis points to 260 basis points. The Wall Street Journal reported that Oracle may be purchasing chips through a third-party entity and leasing them back, though the scale remains undisclosed and the loan-to-cost ratio exceeds 50%. Morgan Stanley considers this structure highly consistent with its long-term hypothesized framework for a chip-leasing SPV, under which the credit exposure is booked as debt on the balance sheet and incorporated into the parent company's adjusted leverage assessment. Morgan Stanley judges that the bond market's reaction is primarily driven by investors' capacity to absorb the broader chip financing wave, with Oracle's individual transaction playing a secondary role. From a trading perspective, the firm recommends buying Oracle's 5-year CDS and selling the 2035 and 2055 maturing bonds, positioning for a deterioration in Oracle's credit profile.

Waymo accumulates approximately 370,000 miles per accident, roughly five times the rate of human drivers in the United States.
