Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Morgan Stanley director Perry M. Traquina reported receiving stock-based compensation rather than trading shares in the market. On 2026-06-01, Traquina acquired 369.119 shares of Morgan Stanley common stock at $209.9594 per share as a grant.

A separate award of 1,309.777 deferred stock units was also reported at a price of $0.00, reflecting units granted in lieu of cash retainers for board service. Footnotes explain these are restricted and deferred stock units under the Morgan Stanley Directors' Equity Capital Accumulation Plan, each convertible into one share of common stock.

Restricted stock units financial
"Restricted stock units granted under the Morgan Stanley Directors' Equity Capital Accumulation Plan"
Restricted stock units are a type of company reward where employees are promised shares of stock, but they only fully own these shares after meeting certain conditions, like staying with the company for a set time. They matter because they can become valuable assets and are often used to motivate employees to help the company succeed.
Deferred stock units financial
"Deferred stock units granted under the Morgan Stanley Directors' Equity Capital Accumulation Plan in lieu of cash retainers"
Deferred stock units are promises from a company to give an employee shares of stock at a future date, often after certain conditions are met or after leaving the company. They function like a form of delayed compensation, allowing employees to earn shares over time. For investors, they represent potential future ownership in the company, but do not provide immediate voting rights or dividends until the shares are actually received.
