UBS Group is a holding company. Through its subsidiaries, Co. is a global financial services firm. Co.'s businesses are organized globally into several business divisions, including: Global Wealth Management, which provides investment advice and solutions, as well as lending solutions, to private clients; Personal and Corporate Banking, which provides financial products and services to private, corporate and institutional clients, operating across various banking markets in Switzerland; and Asset Management, which provides investment capabilities and styles across various primary and alternative asset classes, as well as advisory support. We show 6 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our UBS shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute UBS market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing UBS market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing UBS's market cap history versus its peers.
Many "beginner" or "novice" investors will look at one stock trading at a price of $10 per share and another trading at
a price of $20 per share and think the latter company is worth twice as much. Of course, that is a completely meaningless comparison without also knowing how many shares outstanding there are for each of the two companies,
and then calculating their respective market caps. Comparing the share price of UBS versus a peer is one thing; comparing
UBS market cap versus a peer is a completely different story.
Furthermore, via fluctuation both in per-share price and in the number of shares outstanding (via issuance of new shares over time, the repurchase of existing shares),
the market cap for a company like UBS can fluctuate over the course of history.
