Potential catalyst incoming
It looks like UBS have had some time to identify the toxic assets Credit Suisse were holding in the recent rushed takeover. Main summary:
The bank’s emergency acquisition of its stricken domestic rival for 3 billion Swiss francs ($3.4 billion) was brokered by Swiss authorities over the course of a weekend in March. UBS also expects to offset this by booking a one-off $34.8 billion gain from so-called “negative goodwill,” which refers to the acquisition of assets at a much lower cost than their true worth. UBS highlighted that the short time frame under which it was forced to conduct due diligence may have affected its ability to “fully evaluate Credit Suisse’s assets and liabilities” prior to the takeover.
