Morgan Stanley is loading up on two hyperscalers in a move that offers a glimpse into how the bank and its customers are approaching the AI trade.
Morgan Stanley’s latest 13F filing shows that the bank accumulated 1,379,651 shares of Apple (AAPL) in Q4 of 2025, lifting its stake to 230,483,035 shares valued at $62.659 billion.
At the end of the quarter, Apple is Morgan Stanley’s number one holding, accounting for 3.74% of its portfolio.
The bank also bought 1,132,013 shares of Alphabet Class C stock (GOOG), boosting its exposure to 71,841,419 shares, worth $22.543 billion. Morgan Stanley also holds 121,794,366 shares of Alphabet Class A stock (GOOGL), worth about $38.121 billion.
While Morgan Stanley boosted its Apple and Google stakes, the bank cut its exposure in Amazon, Tesla (TSLA) and Broadcom (AVGO).
Data shows that Morgan Stanley sold 1,284,468 AMZN shares in Q4 to bring down its exposure to 161,580,340 shares, worth about $37.295 billion.
The bank also dumped 363,694 shares of TSLA, reducing its stake to 35,783,015 shares valued at $16.092 billion.
