UBS Group stock (ISIN CH0244767585) was at EUR 42.27 at Lang & Schwarz at 10:04 a.m. CEST on October 15, 2026. Erste Group Bank cut its fiscal 2026 earnings-per-share estimate for UBS from USD 3.67 to USD 3.66 in a report dated October 8, 2026, according to MarketBeat. The revision was small, but it puts the bank's earnings outlook and capital position back at the center of the stock story.
Estimate cut keeps earnings in view
The October 8 estimate also included USD 4.29 in projected fiscal 2027 earnings per share, while the consensus fiscal 2026 estimate stood at USD 3.59, MarketBeat reported. That comparison leaves Erste's revised view USD 0.07 above consensus, although the direction of the revision was lower.
UBS's latest reported quarter ended June 30, 2026. Markets Insider said UBS generated CHF 13.35 billion in quarterly revenue and CHF 2.8 billion in net profit, compared with CHF 18.32 billion and CHF 2.4 billion in the year-earlier period. The mixed comparison makes the earnings mix more important than the estimate change alone.
