Morgan Stanley Finance LLC is offering principal-at-risk, market-linked notes guaranteed by Morgan Stanley with an approximately eighteen-month term. Each unit has a $10.00 principal amount and provides a Digital Payment of 10.00% to 15.00% (illustrated as $1.00 to $1.50) if the S&P 500® Index Ending Value is less than or equal to the Starting Value. If the Index increases but stays at or below 115.00% of the Starting Value, you receive the Index appreciation up to 15.00%. If the Index rises above 115.00%, the principal is exposed 1-for-1 to increases above that threshold, subject to a $1.50 Minimum Redemption Amount. The initial estimated value on the pricing date is approximately $9.73 per unit and the public offering price is $10.00; payments are subject to the credit risk of MSFL and Morgan Stanley, and there is limited secondary market liquidity.
Morgan Stanley Finance LLC offers structured Enhanced Buffered Jump Securities fully guaranteed by Morgan Stanley. Each note has a $1,000 stated principal amount and pays a fixed $96 upside payment (9.60%) at maturity if the worst performing underlier is >= its 25% buffer. If the worst performing underlier finishes below its buffer, investors lose 1.3333% of principal for each 1% decline beyond the buffer; there is no minimum payment and the investment could be worth zero. The underliers are the RTYFPE Index (Russell 2000 Futures Excess Return), the XLV Fund and the XLU Fund. The strike date is February 26, 2026, original issue date March 3, 2026, observation date April 30, 2027 and maturity May 5, 2027. All payments are subject to Morgan Stanley credit risk.
Morgan Stanley Finance LLC is offering contingent income auto-callable securities linked to the common stock of Iron Mountain Incorporated. Each note has a $1,000 stated principal amount, a contingent annual coupon of 15.60%, a strike/pricing date of February 27, 2026, original issue date March 4, 2026, and maturity on April 1, 2027.
The notes pay the contingent coupon only if the underlier's closing level at each observation date meets or exceeds a coupon barrier equal to 70.51% of the initial level. The securities are automatically redeemed if the underlier meets or exceeds a call threshold equal to 100% of the initial level on any redemption determination date. At maturity, if the final level is below the downside threshold of 70.51% of the initial level, principal is reduced pro rata (payment = principal × final level / initial level), and investors may lose a substantial portion or all of their principal. The estimated value on the pricing date was approximately $978.40 per security; the notes are principal-at-risk and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.

The securities pay a contingent coupon at an annual rate of 12.00% only if each underlier meets its coupon barrier on observation dates, are callable beginning May 14, 2026 based on a risk‑neutral valuation model, and return principal at maturity only if each underlier is at or above its downside threshold; otherwise payment is reduced pro rata to the worst performing underlier.

The underlier is a three‑index basket (Nikkei, S&P 500, EURO STOXX 50) with equal weightings and an observation/strike tied to February 20, 2026 (strike/pricing) and the final observation on February 20, 2031.
