UBS Group Posts Strong Q3 2025 Profit, Exceeding Expectations

UBS Group AG reported a third‑quarter net profit of about USD 2.5 billion, up roughly 74 % year‑on‑year, substantially beating analyst forecasts of around USD 1.29 billion. The Zurich‑based bank saw underlying pre‑tax profit of USD 3.6 billion, and a return on CET1 equity of approximately 16.3 %. Asset flows were strong: invested assets rose to nearly USD 7 trillion, with net new assets of USD 38 billion in its Global Wealth Management unit and USD 18 billion in Asset Management during the quarter. Revenue in the Global Banking division jumped 52 % year‑on‑year, and 14 % in the trading unit, reflecting robust deal‑making and market activity. Meanwhile, UBS benefitted from a USD 668 million release of legal provisions tied to legacy issues. Despite the upbeat results, the bank flagged some headwinds ahead: a strong Swiss franc, potential U.S. government shutdown, and global tariff risks could dampen momentum. #UBS #BankingEarnings #WealthManagement #Q32025Results #SlimScan #GrowthStocks #CANSLIM
