UBS Starts Planned $2 Billion Share Buyback Amid Capital Debate

UBS Group AG is launching a previously-announced share buyback of as much as $2 billion, amid uncertainty over the bank’s longer-term payout plans.

The buyback is expected to kick off on July 1, UBS said in a release on Monday. The bank reiterated that it will “communicate its 2026 capital return ambitions with its fourth quarter and full-year 2025 financial results early next year.”
