UBS is implementing a new monitoring tool to track employee office attendance, requiring staff to be present three days a week. This has raised concerns about potential impacts on bonuses and job security, especially amid anticipated job cuts following the Credit Suisse takeover. Employees report difficulties in securing workspaces and express uncertainty regarding compliance with the new attendance targets.
UBS has implemented stricter office presence rules, requiring employees to work in the office at least three days a week, including one Monday or Friday. A new dashboard tracks attendance, causing concern among staff about potential impacts on bonus payments, although UBS asserts that office presence does not directly affect bonuses. Employees express frustration over the regulations, citing difficulties in team collaboration and commuting challenges.
UBS CEO Sergio Ermotti expressed minimal concern regarding US tariffs, emphasizing the bank's resilience in challenging markets and the positive impact of ongoing cost savings from the Credit Suisse integration. Despite a recent drop in share prices due to political uncertainty over capital requirements, Ermotti remains confident in UBS's short-term outlook and planned share buybacks, unless significant economic deterioration occurs.
UBS Group reported a robust $1.7 billion profit for the first quarter, surpassing expectations of $1.3 billion, reflecting strong market strategies and management. This success boosts investor confidence and highlights the resilience of Switzerland's corporate sector, with firms like Schindler and Sandoz also demonstrating stability. As the Swiss National Bank prepares for a key US Dollar auction, the broader economic indicators suggest a resilient Swiss economy amid global shifts.
The Swiss stock market closed lower, impacted by US tariffs on cars and parts, with the SMI falling 0.7% to 12,867 points. UBS shares plummeted 4.1% after a downgrade by Bank of America, while Roche and other companies also faced losses. In contrast, Nestlé and Alcon saw gains due to positive developments in their business sectors.

Swiss stocks continued their upward trend, with the Swiss Market Index rising 0.16% as investors reacted to US inflation data, which showed an annual rate increase to 3% in January. Companies like Schindler and SGS reported positive earnings, with Schindler's shares climbing 1.50% following a significant profit increase. SGS also saw a 1.52% rise after acquiring an Italian customs operations firm, enhancing its services in Europe.
Analysts have updated their recommendations for several companies, with notable changes including Accor's price target raised to EUR 54 and Legrand upgraded to buy with a target of EUR 125. UBS Group was downgraded to underperform, while Renault's target increased to EUR 68. Other adjustments include Michelin and Ipsen, both seeing target revisions.
The Swiss stock market closed higher on Monday, with the SMI index surpassing 12,000 points for the first time since late October, despite a cautious trading environment ahead of Donald Trump's inauguration. Kühne + Nagel, Lonza, and UBS were among the top gainers, while Zurich and Schindler saw declines. The VSMI volatility index rose by 6.5%, indicating expectations of increased market fluctuations.
The assets of Switzerland's wealthiest individuals have surged to a record 833.5 billion Swiss francs, marking a 4.8% increase after two years of decline. Gérard Wertheimer leads the list with an estimated fortune of 37 to 38 billion francs, despite a decrease in his wealth. Notable newcomers include crypto investors Giancarlo Devasini and Christian Angermayer, reflecting the growing influence of digital assets among the super-rich.
