Growth & Insights and Company News
6 month growth
↓ -1%1 year growth
↓ -1%2 year growth
↓ -1%United Parcel Service shares have risen approximately 1% in the month following its latest earnings report, trailing the S&P 500's performance during the same period. The delivery giant reported second-quarter adjusted earnings of $1.76 per share, beating analyst estimates of $1.65 and marking a 13.5% year-over-year increase. Revenues climbed 7.6% to $22.83 billion, surpassing the $21.75 billion consensus estimate. Growth came from all three business segments. US Domestic Package revenues increased 6% to $14.93 billion, driven by a 9.3% improvement in revenue per piece, though average daily package volume declined. International Package revenues jumped 12.5% to $5.04 billion. Supply Chain Solutions revenues rose 7.8% to $2.86 billion, with the segment showing the strongest profitability improvement.
UPS is investing more than $2 billion across its International, Healthcare and Supply Chain Solutions businesses between 2024 and 2028. The investment aims to help businesses navigate shifting trade routes and supply chain uncertainty with greater flexibility. Key projects include a new hub at Clark Airport in the Philippines opening in Q4 2026, a Canadian facility in Barrie, Ontario in 2027, and an air hub at Hong Kong International Airport in 2028. The company is also adding 27 temperature-controlled freight cross-dock facilities and expanding its intra-Asia air network. The investments target strategic market segments including healthcare, high-tech, automotive and industrial manufacturing. UPS reported 2025 revenue of $88.7 billion.
United Parcel Service has issued $325.1 million in floating rate senior notes due 2076. The underwriting agreement was signed on 14 August 2026 for the 50-year debt instrument. The notes carry a floating interest rate calculated as Compounded SOFR less 0.350%, with a minimum rate of 0.00%. The first interest payment is scheduled for 1 December 2026. The company can redeem the notes at par beginning 1 September 2066, with earlier redemption available at prices ranging from 105.00% to 100.50%. Holders may repay notes at specified prices between 1 September 2027 and 1 September 2037. UPS intends to use proceeds for general corporate purposes. The underwriters include RBC Capital Markets, Morgan Stanley, UBS Securities, and J.P. Morgan Securities.
UPS has completed its 18-month reduction of Amazon deliveries and raised its full-year revenue and earnings guidance as it focuses on higher-margin volumes. The company's China-to-US trade lane returned to year-over-year growth starting in May, one year after air freight volumes collapsed due to US tariffs and the end of the de minimis provision for Chinese goods. Chief financial officer Brian Dykes said the growth coincided with the company lapping last year's elimination of the duty-free trade exemption. According to the International Air Transport Association, air cargo demand on the Asia-to-North America route increased 19.9% in May. Amazon now represents 9% of UPS revenue, down from over 13% during the pandemic e-commerce boom. The reduction removed approximately $4.5 billion in related expenses.
UPS returns 5% of its market value in free cash annually, exceeding the S&P 500 median of 4.2%, yet its stock has fallen approximately 10% from recent highs. The company deliberately removed 2 million Amazon packages daily to focus on higher-margin business. The strategy shows early success. US Domestic operating profit jumped 21% year-over-year, whilst volume from small and medium-sized businesses grew 4.3%. Healthcare revenue exceeded $3 billion for the second consecutive quarter. UPS has cut $4.5 billion in expenses and reduced costs per piece by 28% through automation. However, analysts express concern about intensifying competition for premium customers. Amazon, formerly UPS's high-volume partner, now competes directly for the same lucrative segments UPS targets.
