UBS Global Wealth Management has raised its year-end target for the S&P 500 to 6,000 from 5,800 and set a new target of 6,400 for June 2026. The firm also increased its 2025 earnings per share forecast to $260, up from $250, and projected 2026 EPS at $280, up from $275, citing a strong first quarter earnings season and improved GDP growth expectations.
UBS plans to relocate around 1,000 tech jobs from Mumbai to Hyderabad by the end of 2025, aiming to increase its Hyderabad workforce from 2,000 to 3,500-4,000. The bank seeks to stabilize its overall India headcount at approximately 20,000 by 2026, focusing on enhancing its permanent employee base and investing in AI capabilities. India's strategic importance is underscored by its role in the recent Credit Suisse integration, with 50% of UBS's global certified engineers based there.
UBS is making significant strides in integrating Credit Suisse, prompting Fitch to upgrade its outlook from "stable" to "positive." The merger is progressing faster than anticipated, enhancing operational efficiency and capital strength, which has led to a 15.27% rise in UBS shares over the past month. However, the stock remains down 4.6% year-to-date, raising questions about the sustainability of this positive trend.
UBS employees are required to work overtime, including weekends, to facilitate the integration of Credit Suisse (CS) into UBS, a complex process involving the migration of CS data to UBS systems. This transition necessitates new international bank account numbers (IBAN) for CS clients, as their existing account numbers differ from UBS's. The majority of this migration is set to occur in 2025, with UBS ensuring compliance with labor laws and compensating extra hours worked.
UBS has maintained its "Buy" rating for easyJet, setting a target price of 770 pence. Analyst Jarrod Castle expressed confidence in the low-cost airline's outlook following the release of its half-year figures.
UBS forecasts the Bank of England will reduce interest rates to 3.75% by the end of 2025 to combat inflation and wage growth. Following a rate cut in May, the central bank is expected to pause in June before further reductions in August and November, navigating a complex economic landscape influenced by global challenges and tariff uncertainties. Investors should closely monitor these developments, as changes in monetary policy could significantly impact market dynamics, borrowing costs, and economic growth.

UBS has raised its price target for Dycom Industries to €258 from €234, maintaining a Buy recommendation as the company reported strong first-quarter earnings, with EPS of €2.90 and sales of €1.259 billion, surpassing expectations. Dycom's solid financial health and anticipated organic growth of 14% for fiscal 2026 position it well for future expansion, despite potential market fluctuations. The company continues to excel in fiber-to-the-home deployments and hyperscaler infrastructure projects, reflecting its resilience in the telecom sector.
UBS has maintained a 'neutral' rating on Freenet's stock with a target price of €33, following the release of Q1 2025 results. The company reported a slight revenue increase of 1.7% to €604.4 million, while EBITDA fell by 3% to €126.1 million. Despite reaffirming its FY 2025 forecasts, UBS cautioned that the share price may decline after a recent rise.
UBS has maintained a "Buy" rating for CTS Eventim, setting a target price of 116 euros. The ticket marketer surpassed revenue expectations but fell short in operating profit (EBITDA), according to analyst Olivier Calvet's assessment of the quarterly figures.
