Morgan Stanley Finance LLC is offering Buffered Jump Securities with Auto-Callable Feature and Downside Factor due August 17, 2028, unsecured notes fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley. Each security has a $1,000 stated principal amount and is linked to an equally weighted basket of eight stocks across energy, infrastructure and power-related sectors. The notes pay no interest and do not guarantee repayment of principal.
The notes are automatically redeemed on September 2, 2027 if the basket level on August 30, 2027 is at or above 100, paying an early redemption amount of $1,238 per security, with no further payments. If held to maturity and not called, investors receive principal plus 125% of any positive basket return. A 15% buffer protects against moderate declines; below 85, losses increase at a 1.1765x downside factor, and the maturity payment can be significantly below principal or zero. The estimated value on the pricing date is about $979.20 per security versus the $1,000 issue price, reflecting structuring and distribution costs. Liquidity, issuer credit, basket volatility and complex U.S. tax treatment are highlighted as key risks.
Morgan Stanley Finance LLC is offering Contingent Income Buffered Auto-Callable Securities due August 16, 2029, linked to the worst performer of the iShares Silver Trust (SLV) and VanEck Gold Miners ETF (GDX), fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley. Each note has a $1,000 stated principal amount and pays a 10.50% per annum contingent coupon only if on an observation date both underliers are at or above 70% of their initial levels.
The notes may be automatically called quarterly starting August 12, 2027 if both underliers are at or above 100% of their initial levels, paying principal plus the relevant coupon. If not called, at maturity investors receive principal back if both underliers are at or above 80% of initial; otherwise, they lose 1% of principal for each 1% decline of the worst underlier beyond the 20% buffer, subject to a 20% minimum payment of principal. The estimated value on the pricing date is approximately $931.60 per note, below the $1,000 issue price, reflecting structuring and hedging costs. The securities carry Morgan Stanley credit risk, limited liquidity, exposure to silver and gold-mining sector volatility, and uncertain U.S. tax treatment, with potential 30% withholding on coupons for many non‑U.S. holders.
Morgan Stanley Finance LLC is offering principal-at-risk structured notes linked to the S&P® U.S. Equity Momentum 40% VT 4% Decrement Index, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley. Each security has a $1,000 stated principal amount and is scheduled to mature on August 12, 2031, subject to automatic early redemption starting August 2027.
Investors may receive a 9.50% per annum contingent coupon, payable only if the index is at or above a 65% coupon barrier on each observation date; missed coupons can be paid later if the barrier is met. The notes feature a 15% buffer and a minimum payment at maturity of 15% of principal, but if the final index level is below the 85% buffer level, principal is reduced 1% for each 1% decline beyond the buffer. The issuer’s estimated value on the pricing date is $907.60 per $1,000 security, and all payments depend on Morgan Stanley’s credit.
Morgan Stanley Finance LLC is offering Enhanced Buffered Jump Securities due October 6, 2027, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley. Each note has a stated principal of $1,000, pays no interest and is subject to full principal loss.
The payoff depends on the worst performing of the iShares Russell 1000 Growth ETF, the S&P 500 Index and the State Street Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR ETF. If, on the October 1, 2027 observation date, each underlier is at or above 75% of its initial level, holders receive $1,000 plus a fixed upside payment of $96 (9.60%), regardless of how strongly the basket performs. If any underlier is below its buffer level, repayment is reduced by 1.3333% of principal for every 1% decline beyond the 25% buffer, with no minimum, so the return can be zero.
The estimated value on the pricing date is approximately $988.50 per note, reflecting issuer costs and Morgan Stanley’s internal models. The notes are unsecured, unsubordinated obligations of MSFL, subject to Morgan Stanley’s credit risk, and are designed for fee-based advisory accounts prepared to hold to maturity and accept complex market, tax and liquidity risks.
Morgan Stanley Finance LLC is offering Buffered Jump Securities with Auto-Callable Feature due August 10, 2029, linked to the S&P® U.S. Equity Momentum 40% VT 4% Decrement Index, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley. Each note has a $1,000 stated principal amount and an estimated value on the pricing date of approximately $945.40, reflecting embedded costs and issuer economics.
The notes pay no interest and may be automatically redeemed starting August 10, 2027 if the index closes at or above the call threshold level (90% of the initial level) on any determination date, for cash payments that imply a return of about 15.75% per annum. If held to maturity and not redeemed early, investors receive $1,472.50 per security if the final index level is at or above the call threshold, the $1,000 principal if the final level is between the call threshold and the buffer level (75% of initial), and a loss of 1% of principal for each 1% decline beyond the 25% buffer, subject to a minimum payment at maturity of 25% of principal.
The underlier is a relatively new, volatility-targeted, futures-based momentum index with a 4% per annum decrement, established on March 14, 2022; its closing level on July 27, 2026 was 1,256.37. All payments are subject to the credit risk of MSFL and Morgan Stanley, the securities are illiquid, and investors face principal at risk, complex tax treatment, potential conflicts of interest, and reliance on proprietary valuation models and secondary market making by Morgan Stanley affiliates.
Morgan Stanley Finance LLC is issuing $10,183,000 of Digital Basket-Linked Notes due July 31, 2030, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Morgan Stanley. Each note has a $1,000 face amount, pays no interest and is an unsecured, principal-at-risk obligation.
The notes are linked to a weighted basket of equity indices: EURO STOXX 50® (40%), Tokyo Stock Price Index (25%), FTSE® 100 (17%), Swiss Market Index® (11%) and S&P®/ASX 200 (7%). The initial basket level is 100. At maturity, investors receive for each $1,000 the basket-linked amount: if the basket return is zero or positive, the greater of $1,434.60 (143.460% of face) or $1,000 plus $1,000 times the basket return; if negative, $1,000 plus $1,000 times the basket return, with no downside buffer.
The estimated value on the trade date (July 27, 2026) is $945.20 per note, below the $1,000 issue price due to issuance, selling, structuring and hedging costs and the issuer’s internal funding rate. Underwriting commissions are 4.26% of face. Payments depend on Morgan Stanley’s credit, and the notes will not be listed; secondary market liquidity may be limited.
