UBS Group (SWX:UBSG) is back in focus after a shake up in its operations and technology leadership, just as Swiss lawmakers debate looser capital rules that could reshape the bank’s balance sheet and strategic flexibility.

See our latest analysis for UBS Group.

Those leadership changes and potential capital rule relief are landing against a strong backdrop, with UBS’s share price at about $36.7 after a 1 month share price return of 21.20 percent and a 5 year total shareholder return of 235.08 percent. This suggests momentum is still very much building rather than fading.

If UBS’s recent run has you thinking about where else capital and leadership shifts could drive upside, now is a good time to explore fast growing stocks with high insider ownership.

With the shares now trading slightly above the average analyst price target and after such a powerful multi year run, the key question is clear: is UBS still attractive at this level, or is future growth already priced in?

Most Popular Narrative: 8.3% Overvalued

With UBS Group trading around CHF36.7 against a narrative fair value near CHF33.9, the current share price sits ahead of projected fundamentals.

The analysts have a consensus price target of CHF32.13 for UBS Group based on their expectations of its future earnings growth, profit margins and other risk factors. However, there is a degree of disagreement amongst analysts, with the most bullish reporting a price target of CHF39.5, and the most bearish reporting a price target of just CHF21.0.

Read the complete narrative.

Curious how modest revenue growth, sharply higher profit margins and a lower future earnings multiple can still justify today’s lofty price tag? The narrative spells it out.

Result: Fair Value of $33.89 (OVERVALUED)

However, looming Swiss capital rule changes, as well as lingering Credit Suisse integration risks, could still undermine UBS’s earnings momentum and constrain shareholder returns.

Another Lens on Value

While the narrative fair value suggests UBS is about 8 percent overvalued, its current price to earnings ratio of roughly 20 times screens cheaper than peers at 21.2 times and below a 24.6 times fair ratio, pointing to room for upside if sentiment or earnings keep improving.
