Jefferies analyst Flora Bocahut upgraded UBS (UBS) to Buy from Hold with a price target of CHF 37, up from CHF 22. The firm sees a “potential turning point” on the bank’s capital. Jefferies sees an “adequate margin of safety in the shares” given UBS’s “robust capital generation.” The shares are discounting a “worst case” outcome on capital and have been held back to the tune of $50B in relative value terms since last April, the analyst tells investors in a research note.
