UBS (NYSE:UBS) stock fell 3.96% after the banking giant acquired its Swiss rival Credit Suisse (NYSE:CS), down 58%, for around $3.3B. Oddo downgraded its rating of UBS to 'underperform' from 'neutral', citing "very limited due diligence" around the deal, while KBW lowered its rating to 'underperform' from 'market perform', noting in particular the suspension of UBS share buybacks, which were a key part of the investment thesis.
