UPDATE: Deutsche Bank Downgrades Morgan Stanley (MS) to Hold

(Updated - March 16, 2012 7:14 AM EDT)

Deutsche Bank downgrades Morgan Stanley (NYSE: MS) from Buy to Hold and cut its price target from $28 to $22.

The firm comments, "while the gains over the past few months were warranted and we still expect the firm to eventually get closer to adjusted TBV, given a still mixed macro/reg outlook, a challenging outlook for FICC for the non-top five players, & a relative rating/rev mix headwind, we expect returns and valuation to remain challenged and see limited upside."

2012 & 2013 EPS estimates are unchanged at $2.15 & $2.60
