By William Gullotti

Buffalo, N.Y., Feb. 6 – Morgan Stanley Finance LLC priced $1.03 million of market-linked securities – autocallable with contingent coupon and contingent downside due Jan. 28, 2027 linked to the stock performance of Apple Inc., Alphabet Inc., and Amazon.com, Inc., according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes are guaranteed by Morgan Stanley.

The notes will pay a contingent quarterly interest payment at the rate of 14% per year if each stock closes at or above the coupon barrier level, 70% of the initial share level, on the observation date for that period.

The notes will be called at par plus an interest payment if each stock closes at or above its initial level on any quarterly call observation date after six months.

The payout at maturity will be par plus the final interest payment if each stock finishes at or above its respective downside threshold, 70% of its initial level.
