Morgan Stanley releases its earnings report at 7:28 AM ET on October 14, before the broader market opens for trading. Investors will have the numbers in hand before they can act, making the pre-market window the only moment to get ahead of the move.

Streaks as long as 10 straight earnings beats become their own story, and the market tends to punish any result that snaps one. Where the actual figure lands against $2.92 decides whether the streak holds and whether the stock opens higher or lower.
