While the Federal Reserve released its list of final capital requirements for large banks, effective Oct. 1, 2025, it’s still reviewing Morgan Stanley’s (NYSE:MS) request for a downward adjustment in its stress capital buffer, the Wall Street bank said on Friday.
The final calculations were determined by the central bank’s annual stress tests, the results of which were released in June. The stress capital buffer is the amount of capital that the largest U.S. banks are required to set aside to weather a potential economic downturn.
“Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) remains actively engaged with the Federal Reserve to reach a final SCB requirement before the October 1, 2025 effective date,” the company said in a statement.
Morgan Stanley (MS) stock ticked down 0.1% in Friday after-hours trading.
