Three years ago, UBS shares were priced at CHF 18.15. An investment of CHF 10,000 would have resulted in 551.116 shares, now valued at CHF 15,398.18, reflecting a 53.98% increase as of March 28, 2025, when shares closed at CHF 27.94. UBS's market capitalization recently reached CHF 88.86 billion.
Martin Pfister, the new Minister of Defence and Sport, takes office on April 1, marking Zug's return to the Federal Council after 43 years. The canton, known for its strong finances, will cover 99% of hospital costs over the next two years, significantly reducing premiums by an estimated 18% for policyholders. Additionally, residents can receive subsidies if their premiums exceed 8% of their qualifying income.
UBS shares fell 2.5% to CHF 27.25 in early trading, with a low of CHF 27.16, while the SMI stood at 12,663 points. The stock's 52-week high is CHF 32.88, 20.66% above the current price, and the low is CHF 22.53. Analysts project earnings of USD 2.07 per share for 2025, with Q1 2025 results expected on April 30, 2025.
In the first quarter, US equities faced challenges amid political turmoil, while European stocks benefited from fiscal policies. The US economy is expected to slow due to punitive tariffs, but its adaptability may prevent a recession. Investors are advised to diversify portfolios, as US dollar bonds carry high risks amid growing mistrust in the US as a reliable partner. Meanwhile, Swiss equities remain attractive, bolstered by the franc's status as a safe haven alongside gold.
Five client advisors from UBS's Chiasso branch, including three senior managers, have resigned amid a toxic work environment following the bank's takeover of Credit Suisse. The management, led by Marc Genova and Matteo Franceschini, is reportedly implementing significant layoffs, targeting a reduction to 85,000 employees within two years. Despite the departures, many employees are choosing to stay, particularly in back office roles, as UBS navigates new home office regulations and aims for further cost savings.
In the wake of the collapses of Credit Suisse and Silicon Valley Bank, the focus on capital ratios as a measure of bank resilience is being challenged. While UBS faces calls for higher capital requirements, the real lesson is that liquidity, not capital, is crucial for survival in modern banking, especially amid rapid digital transactions and shifting market sentiments. The failures of both banks highlight that a strong capital position does not guarantee stability when trust erodes and liquidity dries up.
US markets are under pressure as fears of a trade war escalate with President Trump's impending tariffs affecting all countries. The Dow Jones and Nasdaq 100 indices have seen significant declines, while gold prices soar amid geopolitical tensions. Vaccine stocks also suffered, with Moderna and Biontech experiencing sharp losses.
Regula Berger has been appointed as the new Chairwoman of the Board of Directors of Bank Cler, making her one of the few women leading a Swiss bank. She aims to enhance the bank's unique blend of traditional and digital banking services as part of its growth strategy. The Board now has a 57% female representation, significantly above the Swiss average.
A couple from Meilen ZH fled to Qatar, leaving behind nearly 700,000 francs in tax debts. Their Lake Zurich apartment was foreclosed and sold in under 30 seconds for 2.36 million francs, with the Luzerner Kantonalbank being the sole bidder, while other creditors may face significant losses.
VP Bank shares rose slightly by 0.57% to EUR 87.75 on March 30, 2025, but face significant challenges, with analysts issuing a unanimous "sell" rating. Despite a favorable P/E ratio and high dividend yield, earnings expectations have been downgraded, and the average target price is 16.5% below the current price. The bank's history of disappointing results adds to investor concerns ahead of the upcoming Annual General Meeting on April 25, 2025.
