Investing in Morgan Stanley at $100 for a 4.4% Return Through Options Strategy

Investors considering Morgan Stanley (NYSE: MS) may find selling put options to be a viable strategy instead of purchasing shares at the current market price of $178.60. One notable opportunity is the January 2028 put option with a $100 strike price, which has a bid of $4.40. This would yield a 4.4% return based on the $100 commitment, translating to a 2.1% annualized return.

Should the stock decline significantly, the put seller could end up with shares at a net cost basis of $95.60, assuming the option is exercised. Currently, the trailing twelve-month volatility for Morgan Stanley is calculated at 31%, based on the last 250 trading days.
