what happened

Analysts at KBW, cited by Market Talk, called UBS's third-quarter figures "somewhat underwhelming", which reduces the chances of potential rating upgrades.

According to the analysts, operating trends in global wealth were weak: revenue fell short of expectations even though net new assets were healthy. They also described the bank's outlook as "uninspiring". The buyback program is running ahead of schedule, but KBW does not see that as enough of a win.

KBW kept its underperform recommendation on the stock. UBS shares were down 1.5%.

why it matters

Assessments from a major brokerage can shape investor sentiment toward the bank's shares. The accelerated buyback is one of the few positives KBW points to, and it partly offsets the weak revenue picture.
