Morgan Stanley Finance LLC priced Dual Directional Buffered Jump Securities totaling $1,015,000, linked to the S&P 500 Futures Excess Return Index, due October 21, 2030 and fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley. Each $1,000 security pays no interest and returns at maturity the greater of the index gain or a fixed $450 upside payment per security if the final level is at or above the initial level.
If the final level is below the initial but at or above the 20% buffer, investors receive a positive return equal to the absolute index decline (up to 20%). If the final level falls below the buffer, principal is reduced 1% for each 1% drop beyond the buffer, with a minimum payment of 20% of principal. The initial level is 543.95 and the buffer level is 435.16.
The issue price is $1,000 per security; the estimated value on the pricing date is $969.70. Agent fees are $7.50 per security, for total proceeds to the issuer of $1,007,387.50. The notes will not be listed and are subject to the credit risk of MSFL and Morgan Stanley.

Issue price is 100% of principal; minimum denominations are $1,000.
The notes feature optional redemptions: par calls on specified dates before maturity and make‑whole calls before the floating periods, as detailed for each series. The sale to managers closed at net prices implying underwriting commissions of 0.250% (2029 tranches), 0.350% (2031) and 0.450% (2036). Interest during floating periods uses daily compounded SOFR with a rate cut‑off near maturity. The notes are unsecured senior obligations and are not bank deposits or FDIC insured.
Morgan Stanley Finance LLC priced a Rule 424(b)(2) offering of market-linked, auto-callable principal-at-risk securities totaling $4,109,000 (face amount $1,000 per security), fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley. The notes pay a contingent coupon of 18.70% per annum, if earned, and may be automatically called after an initial three-month non-call period when each underlying meets its call condition.
The notes are linked to the lowest performing of NVIDIA (NVDA), Meta (META), Alphabet (GOOGL) and Broadcom (AVGO). Monthly coupons are paid only if the lowest performer closes at or above its coupon threshold (60% of starting price). At maturity on October 19, 2028, if any underlying is below its downside threshold (60%), repayment is reduced 1:1 with that stock’s decline, which can result in substantial loss of principal.
The notes are not listed and carry the issuer’s credit risk. The current estimated value is $954.40 per security. Commissions are up to $23.25 per security; proceeds to the issuer are $976.75 per security (total $4,013,465.75).
Morgan Stanley Finance LLC priced Market Linked Securities tied to the lowest performer of Arista Networks (ANET) and Gilead Sciences (GILD), due October 19, 2028, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley. The notes offer a contingent coupon at 18.25% per annum, paid quarterly if the lowest-performing stock on each calculation day is at or above its coupon threshold price (65% of its starting price). Missed coupons feature a memory if a later observation meets the threshold.
The notes are auto‑callable beginning in January 2026 if both stocks are at or above their starting prices, returning the $1,000 face amount plus the applicable coupon(s). If not called, maturity repayment depends on the lowest performer: at or above its 65% downside threshold pays $1,000; below that, repayment falls in proportion to the decline, with risk of losing more than 35%—up to all—of principal.
The estimated value is $948.60 per $1,000 note. Pricing per note: $1,000 price to public; up to $23.25 in agent commissions; proceeds to issuer $976.75. Aggregate: $2,080,000 offered, $48,360 commissions, $2,031,640 proceeds. The securities will not be listed and are subject to the issuer’s and guarantor’s credit risk.

The securities pay a 14.80% per annum contingent coupon only if each underlier closes at or above its coupon barrier on an observation date. Barriers and thresholds: CRWD barrier/downside $289.338 (60% of $482.23); BAC barrier/downside $30.264 (60% of $50.44). Auto‑call occurs if both are at or above the call thresholds (90% of initial): CRWD $434.007, BAC $45.396, first assessed April 16, 2026.
If held to maturity and either underlier finishes below its downside threshold, repayment is reduced 1% for each 1% decline of the worst performer, potentially to zero. Price to public: $1,000 per security; estimated value $979.40; no sales commissions; proceeds to issuer $275,000. The notes will not be listed and are subject to the issuer’s credit risk.
