UBS posts 74% jump in third-quarter profit, beating expectations
UBS's net profit rose 74% to $2.5 billion, driven by financial market volatility and strong deal activity, despite challenges from regulatory capital hikes and macroeconomic uncertainties.
- On Wednesday, July 30, 2025, UBS Group AG reported third-quarter net profit rose 74% to $2.5 billion, with revenue at $12.76 billion, slightly above expectations.
- Revenue drivers included financial market volatility from global tariff turmoil and renewed M&A activity, plus a $688m release of legal provisions helped UBS beat earnings.
- In investment banking, UBS reported revenues jumped 52% in global banking and 14% in trading, with net new money totaling $38 billion to wealth management and $18 billion to asset management, bringing invested assets close to $7 trillion.
- UBS faces legal and regulatory headwinds as it plans to appeal a Swiss court ruling on the 16.5 billion Swiss franc Credit Suisse bond write-off and `strongly disagrees` with capital requirement proposals.
- UBS expects deal activity to remain healthy in the fourth quarter but warned sentiment can shift quickly, and it remains confident in $3 billion share buybacks this year and targets for 2026 while completing Credit Suisse integration by the end of next year.
