MORGAN STANLEY (MS), through Morgan Stanley Finance LLC, is offering principal-at-risk Contingent Income Memory Auto-Callable Securities due September 5, 2031, linked to the S&P® 500 Futures 40% Intraday 4% Decrement VT Index and fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.
Each note has a stated principal of $1,000 and an estimated value on the pricing date of about $911.70, reflecting issuance, structuring and hedging costs borne by investors. The notes pay an 8.00% per annum contingent coupon only if, on an observation date, the index is at or above a coupon barrier set at 55% of the initial level; missed coupons can be paid later if the barrier is met.
The notes are automatically called if, on any quarterly redemption determination date from June 1, 2027, the index is at or above a call threshold of 80% of the initial level, returning principal plus due and unpaid coupons. If held to maturity without early redemption, investors receive principal back only if the final index level is at or above the same 55% downside threshold; otherwise the payoff is fully exposed to index loss on a 1-for-1 basis, potentially resulting in a total loss. The underlier is a relatively new, volatility-targeted, futures-based index with a 4% per annum decrement, and all payments depend on Morgan Stanley’s credit.
MORGAN STANLEY (MS), via Morgan Stanley Finance LLC, is offering Buffered PLUS, principal-at-risk structured notes due October 7, 2027, linked to the worst performer of the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 Index. Each security has a $1,000 stated principal amount, pays no interest, and is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.
At maturity, if the worst performing index is above its initial level, holders receive principal plus 150% of its gain, capped at a maximum payment of $1,195 (119.50% of principal). If the worst performer is between 90% and 100% of its initial level, investors receive only principal. Below 90%, investors lose 1% of principal for each 1% additional decline, but not less than 10% of principal back.
The notes are unsecured obligations subject to Morgan Stanley’s credit risk and limited liquidity, with an estimated value on the pricing date of approximately $989.90 per security, below the $1,000 issue price due to embedded issuing, selling, structuring and hedging costs. U.S. federal tax treatment is uncertain and may be affected by future IRS or legislative actions.
MORGAN STANLEY (MS), through Morgan Stanley Finance LLC, is offering principal-at-risk Callable Contingent Income Securities due March 6, 2028, linked to the worst performing of the Nasdaq‑100 Index®, the Russell 2000® Index and the S&P 500® Index and fully guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.
The notes pay a 9.00% per annum contingent coupon only if on each observation date all three indices are at or above their respective coupon barrier levels, set at 70% of initial levels; otherwise no coupon is paid for that period. Beginning December 4, 2026, the issuer may redeem the notes in whole on specified redemption dates, but only if a specified risk neutral valuation model indicates early redemption is economically rational for Morgan Stanley.
If not redeemed and on the final observation date each index is at or above its downside threshold level (also 70% of initial), investors receive principal plus any final coupon; if any index is below its threshold, the maturity payment is reduced 1% for each 1% decline of the worst performing index, and can fall to zero. The original issue price is $1,000 per security, while the estimated value on the pricing date is approximately $971, reflecting issuance, structuring and hedging costs and issuer credit spreads. The issuer describes U.S. tax treatment as a prepaid financial contract with associated coupons, but notes material tax uncertainty and potential 30% withholding on coupons for many non‑U.S. investors.

MORGAN STANLEY (MS), through Morgan Stanley Finance LLC, is offering Airbag In-Digital Securities linked to the S&P 500 Index maturing on March 2, 2028. Each security has a $10 principal amount and an estimated initial value of about $9.931, reflecting issuance, structuring and hedging costs borne by investors.
If the S&P 500 Final Level is at or above 90% of the Initial Level, holders receive full principal plus a fixed Digital Return between 14.10% and 14.62%, regardless of how much the index has risen. If the Final Level is below 90%, repayment is reduced using a downside formula with 1.111x downside gearing, causing a loss of 1.111% of principal for each 1% the index falls beyond a 10% decline, up to total loss. The notes pay no interest or dividends, have approximately an 18‑month term, are unsecured obligations of MSFL fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley, and expose investors to both market risk of the S&P 500 and the issuers’ credit risk, with limited or no expected secondary market liquidity.
MORGAN STANLEY (MS), through Morgan Stanley Finance LLC, is offering Airbag In-Digital Securities linked to the S&P 500® Index, maturing on September 30, 2027 and fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.

If the Final Underlying Level on the September 27, 2027 Final Valuation Date is at or above the Digital Barrier, which equals the Downside Threshold of 90% of the Initial Underlying Level, investors receive repayment of principal plus a fixed Digital Return between 10.00% and 10.50%, regardless of any higher S&P 500® performance. If the Final Underlying Level is below the Downside Threshold, the maturity payment is reduced according to $10 + [$10 × (Underlying Return + 10%) × Downside Gearing 1.111], causing a loss of 1.111% of principal for every 1% the index falls beyond the 10% Threshold Percentage, up to a total loss.
The Securities pay no interest or dividends and are subject to the credit risk of Morgan Stanley and MSFL. The estimated value on the Trade Date is approximately $9.935 per $10 Security, reflecting issuance, structuring and hedging costs. Liquidity may be limited, and any secondary market price is expected to be below the issue price.
Morgan Stanley (MS), through Morgan Stanley Finance LLC, is offering principal-at-risk Contingent Income Memory Auto-Callable Securities due August 27, 2031, linked to the S&P® U.S. Equity Momentum 40% VT 4% Decrement Index and fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.
Each $1,000 note pays a 12.50% per annum contingent coupon, but only if on an observation date the index is at or above the coupon barrier level of 789.336 (60% of the initial level of 1,315.56). Missed coupons can be “remembered” and paid later if a future observation meets the barrier, but may never be paid.
The notes are automatically redeemed on scheduled dates if the index closes at or above the call threshold of 1,315.56 (100% of the initial level), returning principal plus any due and unpaid coupons. If held to maturity and the final index level is at or above the downside threshold of 789.336, investors receive full principal plus any payable coupons; if below, repayment is reduced in full proportion to the index decline, down to zero. The estimated value on the pricing date is approximately $920.50 per $1,000 note, reflecting issuance, structuring and hedging costs, and all payments are subject to Morgan Stanley’s credit risk.
MORGAN STANLEY (MS), through Morgan Stanley Finance LLC, is offering Trigger PLUS structured notes due August 29, 2031, linked to a basket of equity indices. The notes have a $1,000 stated principal amount, pay no interest and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley, with principal at risk.
The underlier is a basket set to an initial level of 100, composed of MSCI EAFE Index (25%), MSCI Emerging Markets Index (10%) and S&P 500 Futures Excess Return Index (65%). At maturity, if the final basket level is above 100, holders receive $1,000 plus a leveraged upside payment equal to 193.00% of the positive return. If the final level is between 80 and 100 inclusive, investors receive only $1,000. If the final level is below 80 (80% of initial), repayment is $1,000 multiplied by the performance factor, causing a 1% loss of principal for each 1% decline, with no minimum and potential total loss.
The pricing and strike dates are August 26, 2026, the observation date is August 26, 2031, and the original issue date is September 1, 2026. The estimated value on the pricing date is approximately $972.80 per security, reflecting issuance, selling, structuring and hedging costs and Morgan Stanley’s funding rate. The notes are unsecured obligations subject to the credit risk of Morgan Stanley Finance LLC and Morgan Stanley, and secondary market liquidity may be limited.
Morgan Stanley (MS), through Morgan Stanley Finance LLC, is offering Enhanced Buffered Jump Securities linked to the S&P 500® Index under its Series A Global Medium-Term Notes program, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley. These unsecured notes pay no interest, are not principal-protected and are subject to the issuer’s and guarantor’s credit risk.
Each $1,000 security pays at maturity based on the S&P 500® performance on a single observation date. If the final index level is at or above the buffer level of 6,525.688 (85% of the 7,677.28 initial level), investors receive $1,000 plus a fixed upside payment of $72.90, a 7.29% return, regardless of how much the index has risen. If the final level is below the buffer level, repayment is reduced by 1.1765% of principal for every 1% decline beyond the 15% buffer, with no minimum payment; investors can lose their entire investment.
The issue price is $1,000 per security, including selling, structuring and hedging costs, while the estimated value on the pricing date is approximately $986.70. The notes are not bank deposits, are not FDIC insured, may have limited or no secondary market liquidity, and involve complex U.S. federal tax treatment, which could differ from the issuer’s expectation.
