Where sources disagree
We surface conflicts between sources rather than hiding them.
Two significantly different EPS values (10.21 vs 2.68 USD_per_share) are reported for Morgan Stanley on the same observation date (2025-12-31). Fact A specifies FY 2025, while Fact B's 'N/A' fiscal period is ambiguous. If both represent FY 2025 annual EPS, these values directly conflict. The magnitude of the difference (3.8x) is too large to attribute to rounding or minor calculation variations. The missing fiscal period in Fact B raises data quality concerns, but same-date observation + same attribute should reference the same period.
The same metric (eps) for the same entity (Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC) reported for the identical fiscal period (Q1 2026) and observation date (2026-03-31) has two conflicting values: 3.43 USD_per_share vs 3.08 USD. This is not a temporal change — both observations claim to measure the same point in time. The ~10% discrepancy (0.35 USD difference) is material for a financial metric.
Same entity (Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC), same metric (net_income), same fiscal period (Q1 2026), same observation date (2026-03-31), but vastly different values: $5.567 billion vs. $5.57. These cannot coexist for the same time period. Fact B appears to be a data entry error (possible missing decimal placement: 5.57 should likely be 5,567,000,000 or a per-share figure incorrectly entered as total).
