UBS set to reach $3B in FY25 share repurchases

The company said, “Our capital position was further strengthened in the quarter by our business momentum, as we progressed on our capital return plans. The CET1 capital ratio increased to 14.8% and the CET1 leverage ratio to 4.6%, both exceeding our guidance of ~14% and greater than4.0%, respectively. We continue to accrue for a double digit increase in the ordinary dividend per share and completed $1.1B in share buybacks in the quarter. With up to $0.9B in repurchases planned, we are set to reach the full-year total of $3B. Our year-end 2025 CET1 capital ratio is expected to reflect an accrual for intended share repurchases in 2026, as well as the full-year 2025 dividend. Consistent with UBS‘s (UBS) previously communicated plans, the amount of the accrual will be informed by our ongoing strategic planning process, maintaining a CET1 capital ratio of around 14%, achieving financial targets, and visibility on shape and timing of future capital requirements in Switzerland. We will communicate our 2026 capital returns ambitions with our fourth quarter and full-year financial results for 2025 in February 2026.”
