UPS - Preparatory analysis for future swing tradeHere's what I'm looking to see on UPS in the coming weeks. Need to see further buy-side tapering because as of now, it seems as though red and green are in control there while on the sell side we're seeing orange and white holding. Look for a potential bounce here as this is a strong level of support - but that is not enough for me to go long here. The algos don't lie! Happy Trading :)06:05by TraderDaddyOG3

TURN ME UP: $UPS FORECAST 🛡Analysis inspired by the Royal mail acquisition by Czech billionaire, Daniel Kretinsky I realised with e commerce growth delivery players are just as susceptible to growth you know what they say 🛡 During a gold rush sell shovels 🛡so when everyone selling things online we gone need delivery services for the various websites and who better than an established player with a global market already established SWOT ANALYSIS UPS Strengths Strong Global Presence: UPS expanded its UPS Worldwide Express and UPS Express Plus to 40 countries part and now offers time-definite delivery shipments to businesses across 140 countries and territories. Additionally, it operates small delivery services in more than 220 countries under International Package operations. Online Tracking: UPS has one of the most advanced online tracking capabilities in the industry, which tracks 295 million deliveries per day. SMART Network: Effective delivery operations relies on seamless integration of collection and distribution mechanisms. UPS invested $20 billion to build its Southeast Metro Automated Routing Terminal (SMART) logistics network facility in Atlanta, which connects all systems and equipment in its entire network. Excellent Customer Service: To attract, satisfy, and retain customers, businesses have to deliver high-quality service consistently, which is particularly important in the delivery service. UPS offers excellent customer service and has higher customer satisfaction than FedEx. Highly Innovative: Delivering parcels globally on time requires immense innovation. To deliver each package on time, the Chief Information Officer of UPS developed a smart logistics network and won the Forbes CIO Innovation Award. Fast Deliveries: Timely deliveries consistently is a major strength. UPS streamlines its operation with simple handheld devices for communication, scanning packages, customer signatures as well as complex automation like its GPS navigation and reroute technology. All these operational strategies ensure UPS delivers faster than competitors. Competitive Prices: Offering high-quality service at affordable prices is the most effective way to attract and retain customers. In the logistics and delivery service, UPS offers competitive prices for overnight shipping and across all other different categories. UPS Weaknesses Reliance on US Market: Even though UPS operates globally, it relies heavily on the US market. In 2019, US domestic package delivery and freight generated $58.6 billion while international delivery brought in $15.41 billion. If the US market slows down due to recession, UPS will be adversely affected. Adverse Financial Impact during Peak Holiday Season: For UPS to keep up with demand and deliver on time during high peak online shopping season, it has to spend way more than normal periods. The huge amount spent to handle as much as double the average daily package volume affects the profitability of the company to reap the maximum benefits offered by peak holiday seasons. Operational Issues: The management has been postponing upgrades of equipment and delivery systems for decades. Using 19th-century infrastructure to operate in the fast-moving world of the 21st century is increasingly becoming a challenge but upgrading the system costs $20 billion, which is about 5-year worth of UPS profits. Poor Employee Safety: Poor and unsafe work environment undermine the morale, efficiency, and productivity of employees. There are several cases of UPS employees being injured and one employee passed away after contracting the Covid-19 virus. Burdening Purchased Transportation Costs: The delivery business is influenced immensely by transport costs. Purchased transportation cost is incurred when UPS uses third-party transportation carriers. Around 19% of UPS operating expense is directed to purchased transportation in the fiscal year 2019. If transport costs continue to increase, UPS can lose its profitability. UPS Opportunities Drone Testing: UPS has been testing and expanding its drone delivery capabilities. UPS tested its drone delivery technology at Wake Med hospital campuses, transporting lab samples across different hospital campus buildings. Strengthen e-Commerce Operations: The E-Commerce sector is growing rapidly with new players getting into the business constantly. This sector relies on delivery services, which UPS can exploit by strengthening its e-Commerce operations and services. Expand through Mergers and Acquisition: Mergers and acquisitions allow companies to expand quickly into new markets. Even though UPS failed to capture the European market fully after the collapse of its bid to merge with TNT Express, it can acquire small European logistics companies to increase its market share. Diversify Portfolio: There are 3 primary business segments in UPS operations. For instance, it can diversify into the B2C ecommerce retail sector, supporting Small and Medium-sized Businesses (SMBs) and use its extensive global networkagainst competitors. Expand the target market: UPS operates primarily as a business delivery service (B2B and B2C) for online retailers like Amazon even though the number of ordinary consumers using delivery services is increasing rapidly. The company can fuel its growth by expanding its target market to include ordinary consumers. Expand to 7-Day Delivery: UPS has started a 7-day delivery service. Earlier, UPS pickup and delivery service operated for 6 days (Monday – Saturday). With the surge in online shopping and high customer expectations, now UPS has included deliveries on Sundays. UPS Threats Intense Competition: With stiff competition from FedEx, DHL, Amazon, YRC, Old Dominion, and many more, the market share and profits of UPS are always under threat. Over-reliance on one customer “Amazon”: Ecommerce giant – Amazon represented about 11.6% of UPS revenue in the fiscal year 2019. As Amazon is gearing up to compete in delivery and transportation service, UPS revenue can be at risk due to any change in their relationship. Trade Tensions: As a global operator, the stability, sustainability, and profitability of UPS rely on revenues from different regions. This makes trade tensions a major threat to the company. The threat of Strike: Even though UPS employees have not gone on strike since 1997, the risks and challenges of working through the pandemic coupled with several contractions are fueling anger and frustration in the workforce. Even a short strike can cost the company millions. Looming Recession: The pandemic has left devastation and destruction across the world with several countries already deep into recession. UPS pulled its 2020 earnings forecast after posting a 13% drop in profit in the first quarter. If the recession is severe, the company will experience a larger decline in profits. Global Pandemic: UPS earning is projected to decline by 7% in full year 2020 as the pandemic brought the entire world to a halt. If there is a second wave, UPS could lose even more. courtesy of: bstrategyhub.comLongby Bekiumuzi_DubeUpdated 2
UPS Posts Q1 Profit Beat, Revenue Miss Stock up 2.33%United Parcel Service ( NYSE:UPS ) recently published its first-quarter results, indicating that while the shipping company surpassed adjusted profit estimates, it fell short of revenue expectations. The company affirmed its full-year guidance, with a projected revenue range of $92.0 billion to $94.5 billion and an adjusted operating margin of 10.0% to 10.6%. NYSE:UPS , along with other shipping companies such as FedEx, have had to make adjustments due to the fall in shipping demand and revenue. This decline comes after record highs during the pandemic. In the first quarter, NYSE:UPS reported adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $1.43 on adjusted net income of $1.22 billion. This exceeded analyst expectations of $1.31 per share and $1.12 billion. NYSE:UPS 's revenue of $21.7 billion came in slightly below the analyst's estimates of $21.89 billion. Nevertheless, UPS has reported a higher profit than estimated after reducing costs, with total operating expenses down 1.4% in the first quarter compared to last year. As demand for package deliveries has decreased, shipping rival FedEx has also seen a decrease in revenue. NYSE:UPS has affirmed its full-year guidance and expects to return to volume and revenue growth. In the weeks leading up to the earnings report, NYSE:UPS announced that it would replace FedEx as the primary air cargo provider of the U.S. Postal Service. The change is set to happen once the current contract with FedEx expires in September, but UPS has not disclosed how the contract's impact will affect its finances. NYSE:UPS shares initially jumped as much as 3% in premarket trading on Tuesday after the report was released. However, they reversed course and were trading about 1% lower an hour before the opening bell. NYSE:UPS closed at $145.36 on Monday, up 1.8%, but the stock is still down more than 7% so far this year and 25% lower in the last 12 months. The decline in average daily volumes in its domestic segment and a 5.8% drop in its international segment is an indication of the subdued demand for small-package delivery. Besides, the company's profit margins have come under pressure due to higher costs associated with a new labor contract with the Teamsters union. The company reported an adjusted operating margin of 8%, the lowest in 2024. NYSE:UPS is absorbing 46% of the wage and benefit costs of the new five-year contract in 2024 and does not expect business conditions to improve until the second half of the year. In summary, NYSE:UPS 's Q1 profit beat adjusted estimates, while revenue fell short of expectations. The company is making adjustments in response to the fall in shipping demand and revenue. The change in the air cargo provider of the US Postal Service could have an impact on its finances in the future.Longby DEXWireNews3

UPS Rides High on FedEx's Soaring QuarterNYSE:UPS (United Parcel Service) stock witnessed a surge today, buoyed by the impressive performance of its competitor FedEx in the third quarter. FedEx's robust results, including earnings that beat analyst expectations by nearly 12%, lifted UPS shares in sympathy. In its recent quarterly report, FedEx reported earnings of $3.86 per share, exceeding estimates and marking a significant increase from the previous year. Despite slightly missing revenue estimates, the company showcased its confidence by announcing a new $5 billion share repurchase program, with plans for $500 million in share repurchases in the coming quarter. While FedEx's success may have set the stage, NYSE:UPS has been holding its ground. Although NYSE:UPS reported a 7.8% revenue decline in its fourth-quarter fiscal 2023 results, its adjusted EPS met consensus estimates. With FedEx's strong showing, investors are hopeful for similar resilience from NYSE:UPS in the quarters to come. Technical Outlook NYSE:UPS shares is trading with a moderate Relative Strength Index (RSI) of 58.89 indicating a moderate buying situation. The bulls might continue pushing the share price higher. In a market where delivery services play an increasingly crucial role, NYSE:UPS 's response to FedEx's success will be closely watched by investors and industry observers alike.Longby DEXWireNews2

Meditation stock UPS to $137 shortI asked for a stock this morning and like it when things pop in almost before I even finish the thought of asking. This morning it was UPS. The chart made a lower high (as it currently appears), and I had the number 14 immediately as well. I thought of 14 as a percent and "saw" my symbol for the down direction, and the general impression for down. I just did some dowsing on it and asked for the target price, which came in at $137. I was very happy to run the calculation of 14% taken from yesterday's close of $160 to find it is also $137! Earnings are the morning of the 30th and I have this as only a 9 day kind of move with an additional date of 2/12 to keep in mind. That's all!Shortby JenRzUpdated 222

$UPS Announced Plans to Cut 12,000 Jobs In a strategic move responding to disappointing annual revenue forecasts and the evolving landscape of the logistics industry, United Parcel Service ( NYSE:UPS ) recently announced plans to cut 12,000 jobs and explore options for its Coyote truckload freight brokerage business. The decision comes as UPS grapples with weaker-than-expected demand in the e-commerce sector and a shifting market dynamic. Earnings Result The courier giant, often considered a bellwether for the U.S. economy, reported a 6.9% decline in international revenue and a 7.3% dip in domestic revenue for the fourth quarter. These two segments, which constitute a significant portion of UPS's revenue, have seen continuous declines for the past several quarters. The company's struggles reflect broader challenges in the industry, with customers increasingly favoring ground-based delivery over more expensive air-based services. CEO Carol Tome addressed the company's outlook, noting that the small package market in the U.S. (excluding Amazon) is expected to grow by less than 1%. This, coupled with customers shifting to ground-based services, has put immense pressure on both UPS and its competitor, FedEx. The fourth-quarter revenue of $24.9 billion fell short of analysts' estimates of $25.43 billion, marking a 6.9% decline from the previous year. Adjusted profit also saw a significant drop, falling to $2.47 per share from $3.62 a year earlier. However, this figure slightly surpassed analysts' estimates of $2.46 per share. The company's struggle is further exacerbated by labor contract-related costs, expected to be approximately $500 million more than initially estimated in the second half of 2023. The recently negotiated labor deal, effective from August 1, is anticipated to impact the company's profitability in the first half of 2024 due to increased wage costs. NYSE:UPS is now eyeing a future marked by efficiency improvements and a shift towards higher-profit deliveries, such as medical supplies. The company is determined to recover business lost during contentious union talks last summer and combat the impact of changing consumer behavior, including increased in-store holiday shopping and reduced buying power due to inflation. Challenges As NYSE:UPS faces headwinds in the air freight sector, it has reduced flights in response to slack demand, particularly from China. The recent disruptions in shipping routes, such as those caused by Houthi rebel attacks in the Suez Canal and a drought restricting ship movements in the Panama Canal, pose uncertainties about potential shifts in business towards air cargo. Future Outlook Looking ahead, NYSE:UPS CEO Carol Tome plans to outline long-term goals in an investor meeting scheduled for March. The company's 2024 revenue forecast of $92 billion to $94.5 billion falls below analysts' expectations of $95.57 billion, reflecting the challenges and uncertainties that lie ahead. Conclusion NYSE:UPS finds itself at a critical juncture, navigating a complex web of challenges ranging from shifting market dynamics and weaker demand to labor cost pressures. As the company charts its course for the future, stakeholders will be closely watching the strategic decisions and innovations that will shape NYSE:UPS 's trajectory in the ever-evolving logistics landscape.by DEXWireNews2
