Research Alert: Ubs Q1 Beats On Integration And Ib Strength; Capital Requirements Cloud Outlook

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:UBS delivered exceptional Q1 2026 results with net profit of USD3.0B (+80% Y/Y) and underlying PBT of USD4.0B (+54% Y/Y), beating consensus estimates. The strong performance reflected broad-based momentum, with underlying revenues advancing 18% and the fourth consecutive quarter of positive operating leverage. UBS achieved a pivotal milestone in the Credit Suisse integration, completing Swiss client account transfers and delivering USD0.8B in additional gross cost savings. Management expressed confidence in substantially completing the integration by year-end 2026 and achieving exit rate targets of an underlying return on CET1 capital of approximately 15% and a cost-to-income ratio below 70%. However, two significant overhangs temper the outlook: proposed Swiss capital framework changes requiring an additional USD22B in CET1 capital represent a material headwind, while elevated geopolitical risks could shift client sentiment given management's guidance for flat net interest income sequentially in Q2 2026.

Research Alert: CFRA Keeps Hold Opinion On Adss Of Ubs Group Ag

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We raise our 12-month target price to USD47 from USD41, reflecting an expansion in our applied P/E multiple to 14.8x from 12.6x on unchanged 2026 EPS estimates. This multiple expansion is justified by (1) the compression in the equity risk premium since our March 20 report, due to easing geopolitical tensions and improving market sentiment, (2) U.S. investment banking peers' strong Q1 2026 results validating the return of the M&A and wealth management cycles, and (3) incremental positive signals regarding Swiss regulatory capital framework compromises. The ~15% share price appreciation since March 20 aligns with similar moves across the European banking peer group, confirming this as largely a sector-wide re-rating. While we maintain our Hold rating given limited near-term upside from current levels, the regulatory capital framework decision expected this month (April 22-23) represents a potential catalyst that could swing our view. UBS will release its Q1 2026 results on April 29.
