UBS AG - Final Initial Index Levels for the UBS Autocallable Note UBS009, linked to SPX, UKX, SX5E, and NKY Indices, due 2031

Full analysis

What this filing means

UBS AG has fixed the starting levels for its UBS009 autocallable note, the arithmetic average of four monthly index closes from 17 July to 16 October 2026. The S&P 500 starts at 7,624.99, the FTSE 100 at 10,754.68, the EURO STOXX 50 at 6,322.11 and the Nikkei 225 at 65,705.48. These are the reference points the note's future payoff is measured against — a mechanical step in a structured product's life, not a view on any of the four markets.

This note pays out depending on how four stock-market indices move from a starting line. UBS has now drawn that line by averaging four monthly closes, so investors finally know the base the note is measured from. It tells you nothing about whether the note will pay, or about UBS's own health — it is bookkeeping that had to happen before the note could run.

Bear case

  • Missing evidence: the filing does not restate the autocall trigger, coupon, participation factor or barrier terms, so the note's economics cannot be reconstructed from this announcement alone.

SENS-AI conclusion

A mechanical step in a structured product: the averaging window closed and the four starting levels are now fixed. There is no earnings, credit or capital information here, and nothing that re-prices the issuer. For a noteholder it is useful housekeeping — the base for any autocall or barrier test is now known — but the payoff terms themselves are not restated in this announcement. So what: nothing changes economically today; the note's outcome now depends on where those four indices sit on the observation dates.

The observation dates are where the note's autocall and barrier tests will be settled against these fixed starting levels.
