Antonio Reale has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors tied to UBS’s capital outlook and earnings profile. The recent Swiss capital ordinance changes materially reduce UBS’s incremental capital burden, leaving the bank with a significantly smaller “capital bill” versus prior proposals and preserving its strong position relative to global peers, even as some Swiss requirements remain tighter than in the EU and U.S.
At the same time, he expects upcoming first-quarter 2026 results to reaffirm UBS’s financial targets and generous capital return plans, including substantial share buybacks this year. Inflows into Global Wealth Management, particularly from Asia, and cost savings following the Swiss-booked account migration underpin his confidence in earnings growth, supporting a favorable valuation gap between the current share price and his higher price objective.
In another report released today, J.P. Morgan also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a CHF43.00 price target.
