UBS says Reels on Instagram is outperforming TikTok. Jeff Bottari/Getty ImagesAccording to a recent note from UBS, channel checks by the bank indicate that "Reels is outperforming TikTok with lower CPMs and much improved engagement."

We think more disclosure on GenAI product uptake and eventual monetization could bolster confidence in the durability of top line growth, driving multiple expansion," UBS said.
