UBS Jumps on Potential Capital Compromise, Broadcom Disappoints | The Pulse 12/12/2025

UBS shares hit their highest in 17 years after a group of influential Swiss lawmakers proposed watering down the government’s capital demands. They’ve presented recommendations that would allow UBS to use a kind of junior debt known as AT1 bonds, instead of equity, to meet potentially fresh capital requirements envisioned by the Swiss government.

The Nvidia-rival Broadcom has disappointed with a sales outlook that failed to meet expectations. The shares slid about 5% in premarket trading, after unsettling commentary from CEO Hock Tan during a conference call with analysts. Tan declined to give an AI revenue forecast for next year, saying it was hard to pinpoint what 2026 would look like.
