UBS shares surged to a new multi-year high, trading at 29.06 francs after a 2.1% increase, following strong third-quarter results that exceeded analysts' expectations for the third consecutive time. Analysts praised the bank's cost-cutting measures and positive outlook, with cumulative gross cost reductions now projected at $7.5 billion by the end of 2024. Despite a lower-than-expected CET1 capital ratio, international experts noted the net profit was nearly double consensus forecasts, reflecting strong performance across all business areas.
