Let's not forget Q1 2019 was very bad for UBS, so a lot of this is them improving from a weak base
This is like failing all ur classes for semester 1 and then getting straight Cs on semester 2
Ya only because it's easy to pump out a sexy % change when you make the jump from Net Loss to COVID Adj. Net Income
always read the footnotes
Lmao this bad new if anything. From primarily PWM as been said over the last year too. They are not a BB it’s over sorry why do you think all their big seniors left awhile ago.
Actually IB profit rose 242% Y/Y if you read the article
Investment Bank Q1 profits increased from $293 million to $709 million. Very strong for UBS considering profits for all of 2019 was $784 million.

"Top BB" lol
Title calling UBS a top BB is just asking for smoke. But this is encouraging and hopefully UBS can continue its performance. Nice to see it's IBD actually doing well for once instead of being carried by PWM. Also funny the article quoted from RBC
UBS surprisingly did very well in Q1, 4th in US M&A league tables.
Are you at UBS?
I am. Sure UBS has made strategic mistakes, particularly with mass-market M&A. But at the end of the day, a 40% jump in profits is def notable. Also all this bashing on UBS makes no sense in Europe where it is a true leader in advisory and corporate restructuring. Whatever they lack in U.S. tables they more than make up for in the Euro market.
Can you post the top 10 or your source if it's public info?

to things bruh. First the reason that many banks performed poorly is bc they allocated money for defaults. Secondly they donated a lot to covid relief. much more than UBS did. so once banks bounce back UBS is going back to bottom BB
