Pick Beats Dimon in Operational Metrics Showdown

When comparing operational metrics, Ted Pick, CEO of Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS), edges out Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM).

Pick's leadership in return on equity and company-disclosed Return on Total Common Equity (ROTCE) is notable.

Dimon's impressive net profit margin and scale are offset by a one-time gain from the Visa Class C share exchange offer, which inflates his reported quarterly earnings per share (EPS).

Pick's Morgan Stanley achieved record revenues of over $21.0B in Q2 FY26 and record EPS of $3.5, with net income of $5.6B, up 57.7%.
