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 | 17.4 | 27.7 |
| ROE | 17.97% | 16.52% |

| Revenue growth | 28.00% | 14.90% |
| Dividend yield | 2.14% | 1.22% |

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