Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
  • For the twelve months ended November 30, 2025, Class R6 shares of the MFS Growth Fund (fund) provided a total return of 12.62%, at net asset value. This compares with a return of 13.59% for the fund’s benchmark, the Russell 3000® Index. The fund's other benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index, generated a return of 20.35%.
  • Global equity markets reached record levels during the period, withstanding considerable volatility amid tariffs, geopolitical conflict and high levels of uncertainty. In the US, a pro-growth tax and spending bill was signed into law, while in Europe, renewed focus on defense and infrastructure spending brightened the outlook. In Japan, the election of a pro-growth prime minister sent stocks to new highs. Optimism over artificial intelligence remained quite high.
  • Considerable progress was made in trade talks between the US and many major trading partners, with a fragile truce between the US and China extended through late 2026. US tariffs remained high on goods from countries such as India and Brazil. 
  • Moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy during the period. Amid a difficult policymaking environment and slower job growth, the Federal Reserve resumed easing policy in September.
  • In fixed income markets, global bond yields peaked in mid-January, then gradually declined, ending the reporting period lower than at the start of the period, while experiencing waves of volatility in between. Credit spreads remained tight and near historical lows, despite a brief widening in April and May due to tariff concerns. US bond market volatility, as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE) Index, ended near session lows after rising around the time of the US presidential election and the start of the trade war.
  • Top contributors to performance relative to the Russell 1000® Growth Index:
    • Stock selection within the industrials sector benefited the fund's relative performance.
    • Security selection and an underweight position in the consumer staples sector was another area of relative strength.
  • Top detractors from performance relative to the Russell 1000® Growth Index:
    • Stock selection and an underweight position in the information technology sector weighed on relative performance.
    • Security selection and an overweight position in the financials sector also detracted from relative returns. Weak stock selection within the health care sector was another factor that held back relative performance.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
  • For the twelve months ended November 30, 2025, Class R2 shares of the MFS Growth Fund (fund) provided a total return of 11.95%, at net asset value. This compares with a return of 13.59% for the fund’s benchmark, the Russell 3000® Index. The fund's other benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index, generated a return of 20.35%.
  • Global equity markets reached record levels during the period, withstanding considerable volatility amid tariffs, geopolitical conflict and high levels of uncertainty. In the US, a pro-growth tax and spending bill was signed into law, while in Europe, renewed focus on defense and infrastructure spending brightened the outlook. In Japan, the election of a pro-growth prime minister sent stocks to new highs. Optimism over artificial intelligence remained quite high.
  • Considerable progress was made in trade talks between the US and many major trading partners, with a fragile truce between the US and China extended through late 2026. US tariffs remained high on goods from countries such as India and Brazil. 
  • Moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy during the period. Amid a difficult policymaking environment and slower job growth, the Federal Reserve resumed easing policy in September.
  • In fixed income markets, global bond yields peaked in mid-January, then gradually declined, ending the reporting period lower than at the start of the period, while experiencing waves of volatility in between. Credit spreads remained tight and near historical lows, despite a brief widening in April and May due to tariff concerns. US bond market volatility, as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE) Index, ended near session lows after rising around the time of the US presidential election and the start of the trade war.
  • Top contributors to performance relative to the Russell 1000® Growth Index:
    • Stock selection within the industrials sector benefited the fund's relative performance.
    • Security selection and an underweight position in the consumer staples sector was another area of relative strength.
  • Top detractors from performance relative to the Russell 1000® Growth Index:
    • Stock selection and an underweight position in the information technology sector weighed on relative performance.
    • Security selection and an overweight position in the financials sector also detracted from relative returns. Weak stock selection within the health care sector was another factor that held back relative performance.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
  • For the twelve months ended November 30, 2025, Class R1 shares of the MFS Growth Fund (fund) provided a total return of 11.40%, at net asset value. This compares with a return of 13.59% for the fund’s benchmark, the Russell 3000® Index. The fund's other benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index, generated a return of 20.35%.
  • Global equity markets reached record levels during the period, withstanding considerable volatility amid tariffs, geopolitical conflict and high levels of uncertainty. In the US, a pro-growth tax and spending bill was signed into law, while in Europe, renewed focus on defense and infrastructure spending brightened the outlook. In Japan, the election of a pro-growth prime minister sent stocks to new highs. Optimism over artificial intelligence remained quite high.
  • Considerable progress was made in trade talks between the US and many major trading partners, with a fragile truce between the US and China extended through late 2026. US tariffs remained high on goods from countries such as India and Brazil. 
  • Moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy during the period. Amid a difficult policymaking environment and slower job growth, the Federal Reserve resumed easing policy in September.
  • In fixed income markets, global bond yields peaked in mid-January, then gradually declined, ending the reporting period lower than at the start of the period, while experiencing waves of volatility in between. Credit spreads remained tight and near historical lows, despite a brief widening in April and May due to tariff concerns. US bond market volatility, as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE) Index, ended near session lows after rising around the time of the US presidential election and the start of the trade war.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
  • For the twelve months ended November 30, 2025, Class C shares of the MFS Growth Fund (fund) provided a total return of 11.40%, at net asset value. This compares with a return of 13.59% for the fund’s benchmark, the Russell 3000® Index. The fund's other benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index, generated a return of 20.35%.
  • Global equity markets reached record levels during the period, withstanding considerable volatility amid tariffs, geopolitical conflict and high levels of uncertainty. In the US, a pro-growth tax and spending bill was signed into law, while in Europe, renewed focus on defense and infrastructure spending brightened the outlook. In Japan, the election of a pro-growth prime minister sent stocks to new highs. Optimism over artificial intelligence remained quite high.
  • Considerable progress was made in trade talks between the US and many major trading partners, with a fragile truce between the US and China extended through late 2026. US tariffs remained high on goods from countries such as India and Brazil. 
  • Moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy during the period. Amid a difficult policymaking environment and slower job growth, the Federal Reserve resumed easing policy in September.
  • In fixed income markets, global bond yields peaked in mid-January, then gradually declined, ending the reporting period lower than at the start of the period, while experiencing waves of volatility in between. Credit spreads remained tight and near historical lows, despite a brief widening in April and May due to tariff concerns. US bond market volatility, as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE) Index, ended near session lows after rising around the time of the US presidential election and the start of the trade war.
  • Top contributors to performance relative to the Russell 1000® Growth Index:
    • Stock selection within the industrials sector benefited the fund's relative performance.
    • Security selection and an underweight position in the consumer staples sector was another area of relative strength.
  • Top detractors from performance relative to the Russell 1000® Growth Index:
    • Stock selection and an underweight position in the information technology sector weighed on relative performance.
    • Security selection and an overweight position in the financials sector also detracted from relative returns. Weak stock selection within the health care sector was another factor that held back relative performance.

Factors Affecting Performance [Text Block]
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
  • For the twelve months ended November 30, 2025, Class B shares of the MFS Growth Fund (fund) provided a total return of 11.40%, at net asset value. This compares with a return of 13.59% for the fund’s benchmark, the Russell 3000® Index. The fund's other benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index, generated a return of 20.35%.
  • Global equity markets reached record levels during the period, withstanding considerable volatility amid tariffs, geopolitical conflict and high levels of uncertainty. In the US, a pro-growth tax and spending bill was signed into law, while in Europe, renewed focus on defense and infrastructure spending brightened the outlook. In Japan, the election of a pro-growth prime minister sent stocks to new highs. Optimism over artificial intelligence remained quite high.
  • Considerable progress was made in trade talks between the US and many major trading partners, with a fragile truce between the US and China extended through late 2026. US tariffs remained high on goods from countries such as India and Brazil. 
  • Moderating inflation pressures allowed many global central banks to ease monetary policy during the period. Amid a difficult policymaking environment and slower job growth, the Federal Reserve resumed easing policy in September.
  • In fixed income markets, global bond yields peaked in mid-January, then gradually declined, ending the reporting period lower than at the start of the period, while experiencing waves of volatility in between. Credit spreads remained tight and near historical lows, despite a brief widening in April and May due to tariff concerns. US bond market volatility, as measured by the Merrill Lynch Option Volatility Estimate (MOVE) Index, ended near session lows after rising around the time of the US presidential election and the start of the trade war.
  • Top contributors to performance relative to the Russell 1000® Growth Index:
    • Stock selection within the industrials sector benefited the fund's relative performance.
    • Security selection and an underweight position in the consumer staples sector was another area of relative strength.
  • Top detractors from performance relative to the Russell 1000® Growth Index:
    • Stock selection and an underweight position in the information technology sector weighed on relative performance.
    • Security selection and an overweight position in the financials sector also detracted from relative returns. Weak stock selection within the health care sector was another factor that held back relative performance.
