UBS Bank Grows Profits 40% in First Quarter
In mid-March, Kirt Gardner, the CFO of UBS Bank (NYSE: UBS), said the bank had seen small amounts of loan losses and felt good with its liquidity position, despite the impact of the coronavirus pandemic .
It was a surprise at the time considering what most banks were experiencing, but it apparently held through the rest of the quarter.
The bank reported first-quarter profits 40% higher than the first quarter of last year. Net income was roughly $1.6 billion, or earnings per share of $0.43, up from roughly $1.1 billion in the first quarter of 2019.
