On August 6, United Parcel Service Inc declined 3.13% in regular trading, trading at $103.89/share, with turnover of $137 million. The stock extended its post-earnings weakness that began following the Q2 results release on July 28.
Despite Q2 results beating estimates across all metrics — with revenue of $22.8 billion, adjusted EPS of $1.76, and daily package volume of 19.01 million pieces — and a full-year revenue guidance raise to $91.2 billion from the prior $89.7 billion, the stock fell nearly 7% on the earnings day. The market remains concerned about profitability trajectory and growth outlook as the company undergoes a strategic transformation, having completed its Amazon volume glide-down from over 13% of revenue to 8.8%, shedding approximately 2 million low-margin Amazon packages daily.
Adding to the pressure, Morgan Stanley recently warned that Amazon is expanding logistics services to third-party clients at aggressive pricing and may introduce overnight delivery, posing an escalating competitive threat to traditional carriers. UPS management has emphasized the company's advantages beyond lightweight, short-haul urban delivery, while investing in AI-driven automation, healthcare logistics, and North American air freight expansion to offset competitive headwinds.
