Financial News from Squawk Box from 2/5/2010

Squawk Box Has the Latest News on UBS

Staying informed on the news is invaluable for investors, and RazorWire has captured a recently discussion on UBS from Squawk Box.

It is also notable that we have recently upgraded this stock on Saturday, January 30, 2010 because UBS is more attractive in many of the valuation metrics we evaluate. When taking into account the amount of news coverage each stock normally sees as a percentage of the total, Ubs AG has actually sunk a bit in comparison to the others. The Ockham valuation currently has a Fairly Valued stance on UBS because it trades within the price range that we would expect given current market conditions and fundamentals. Interestingly, overall sentiment looks bearish according to the Motley Fool's CAPS survey, as most of their users see Ubs AG underperforming.
