Is UBS still considered a BB?
Been seeing a lot of things lately claiming they are not really a BB but curious what you all think.

2024 is the year they lost it, 2025 is the year it’s confirmed
ex-UBS now buyside: Agree too weak in the US, also not even that strong in Europe anymore, heard still strong in APAC. Exits in America have yet to reflect this, know my UMM firm still considers UBS kids/interviews them, and it seems like UBS still has some UMM exits from what I've heard from people internally. The bank has had a very weak 2025, somehow down from a weak 2024; I heard the bank's M&A and LevFin activity has fallen off a cliff.
I think this was answered multiple times this year. UBS and DB are not truly global banking firms with a strong presence across all geographies (aka, a BB in the eyes of most here); only 6 firms are. RBC, Jefferies, and WF are also not btw because of the lack of global strength across all geographies. UBS and DB are, however, historically considered BBs, which means they exit better than others, similar to their actual strength in the US.
Not anymore, seems like exits are starting to catch up to recent reputation
