Julius Baer

Julius Bär reported an IFRS net profit of CHF 673m in the first half of 2026 and an all‑time high in assets under management of CHF 547bn, but remained well below its 4–5% target with annualized net new money growth of 2.2%. Management signaled that the unusually high client activity in the first quarter is not expected to recur in the short term, and the cautious outlook heightened investor concerns. Against the backdrop of a positive market environment, this triggered a clear company‑specific “sell the news” reaction and pushed the share price sharply lower. » Mais em de.investing.com
