BANK OF AMERICA CORP /DE/ vs UBS Group AG, two Banks—Regional stocks. A side-by-side on valuation, growth, margins, returns, and what each price is betting.
Neither bank's growth appears here, and neither price pretends otherwise: UBS at 20 times earnings is priced for the Credit Suisse integration to finish minting a wealth-management giant, Bank of America at 14.3 for American banking as it already is. Current returns favor the American: 10.6% on equity against 8.6%, 0.91% on assets against 0.48%, a 27.6% net margin against 15.7%. The integration is the entire UBS premium, six turns paid today for synergies still being extracted. BofA pays 1.9% while you wait for nothing in particular. One bank is a finished machine at an ordinary price; the other is a construction site priced as its blueprints.
