United Parcel Services (UPS) is currently experiencing a significant phase of transition, aiming to enhance automation while contending with various market challenges. Analysts are divided in their outlook; some appreciate its solid dividend yield of around 6% to 7%, viewing it as a reason to hold the stock despite growth concerns. Others express skepticism, pointing to high operational costs, competitive pressures from companies like Amazon, and the potential for the stock to become a value trap. While UPS has shown resilience with a promising Q1 in terms of revenues and earnings, many analysts believe the risk factors—including rising tariffs, labor costs, and fluctuating energy prices—could outweigh short-term benefits. The consensus is mixed, reflecting both cautious optimism and significant challenges ahead.

Hold? Stick with it. Don't worry about its history. The CEO is smart and solid. Also likes FedEx.

BUY

A Covid vaccine distribution play They have a freezer farm in the U.S. and Holland, cold enough to transport the Pfzier vaccine. That's a definite plus. They recently reported a strong quarter, but didn't issue guidance, so the stock got hammered. The stock has since recovered. The coming holiday season is crucial for UPS. He believes in the new CEO to deliver this season and in delivering vaccines.

They just delivered a great report, but the stock slid today because the CEO didn't offer a stellar forecast to pump up investors. She was cautious. He likes this stock long-term.

TOP PICK

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly eCommerce trade has benefitted during the pandemic and this is one of the major companies that delivers the goods. UPS just received an upgrade by analysts at Credit Suisse,. It is a defensive holding that continues to see revenues growing by double-digits. It pays a good dividend backed by a decent payout ratio. The technical chart is setting up for another push higher. We would trade this with a stop-loss at $145. Yield 2.51%

BUY

Allan Tong’s Discover Picks Though not widely regarded as a dividend stock, UPS's 3.53% does offer some stability, driven by the surge of e-commerce during this lockdown and extending into the current reopening. Read Best Dividend Stocks Canada for our full analysis.

COMMENT

FDX-N vs. UPS-N. There was a split between FDX-N and AMZN-Q so now investors are favouring UPS-N. Now the US postal service is looking to increase its service to Sunday deliveries. He would still prefer UPS-N over FDX-N.

COMMENT

He likes the UPS name. There are really only two big players in the space, them and FedEx. He prefers FedEx and owns that one. The problem is that there is a growing need for capital to move towards same-day delivery. He thinks FedEx did a smart thing pushing back on Amazon pricing terms and they have reduced their exposure to them to only 1% of revenues.

WATCH

FedEx has more problems, namely absorbing a big European acquisition of TNT Express, but both are impacted by Amazon's move into overnight delivery and the trade war. He won't buy them, but prices are starting to look attractive. Wants to see a turnaround before buying either.
