By Alex · Tickerpine
Morgan Stanley vs Nasdaq, Inc., side by side — the numbers that matter, in plain English. No “winner” hype; you decide.

| P/E ratio | 19.2 | 23.7 |
| ROE | 16.39% | 16.20% |
| Profit margin | 24.75% | 35.28% |
| Revenue growth | 16.30% | 13.70% |
| Dividend yield | 1.89% | 1.43% |

Green = the more favorable figure for that metric (lower P/E, higher ROE, margin, growth and yield). Not a recommendation.
