what happened
UBS Group is scheduled to report third-quarter results on Wednesday, according to Earnings Preview. Consensus estimates compiled by UBS point to total revenue of $13.10 billion, compared with $12.76 billion a year earlier, and attributable net profit of $2.71 billion, up from $2.48 billion.
The Wall Street Journal reported earlier this month that UBS is considering leaving its Swiss home base if lawmakers tighten capital requirements under the country's too-big-to-fail banking laws. RBC Capital Markets analysts describe business momentum as mixed: US wealth advisor departures have stopped worsening but have not yet turned into net additions, while Asian wealth operations are starting to feel Chinese tax measures aimed at wealthy citizens.
why it matters
UBS shares rose 0.9% so far this year but fell 4.4% since the quarter-end, so investors will focus on comments about the capital legislation and the durability of core earnings. The results also set a benchmark for Swiss banks and the SMI, and uncertainty over capital rules could weigh on sentiment across the sector.
