Jefferies sets CHF 60 target

Jefferies analyst Joseph Dickerson has lifted his price target for UBS Group shares from CHF 50 to CHF 60 and kept a Buy rating, according to a Bloomberg report dated 06/18/2026. Bloomberg highlights that CHF 60 is currently the highest target tracked for UBS.

The new target implies roughly 50% upside from Wednesday's close on SIX Swiss Exchange and would take the stock back toward levels last seen in 2007 before the global financial crisis. UBS Group shares have risen about 60% over the past 12 months, driven by strong earnings momentum and cost synergies.

According to data collated by TradingKey, UBS Group's New York-listed shares recently traded around $50.91, giving the bank a market capitalization near $158 billion. The stock's trailing price-earnings ratio of about 17.5 points to a valuation now firmly in large-cap wealth-management territory.
