This summary was created by AI, based on 8 opinions in the last 12 months.

United Parcel Service (UPS-N) is currently in a challenging phase with mixed opinions from various experts. Some view it as a contrarian buy due to its high dividend yield of around 6-7%, which provides a decent incentive for investors to hold through its turnaround efforts and enhance automation. However, others express concerns over its capital-intensive nature, competitive pressures from companies like Amazon, and execution challenges that have plagued its performance. The company’s significant wage increases, high energy prices, and the potential contraction in world trade further complicate its outlook. Despite these issues, some analysts believe the stock could be undervalued given its projected earnings growth, while others warn it could be a value trap with risks to its dividend sustainability.

BUY

In midst of a turnaround, trying to enhance automation. Likes it. Rich dividend of 6%, so you're paid well to wait. Contrarian play. Quality franchise. Q1 beat on revenues and earnings, affirmed 2026 guidance. Very nice risk/reward.

DON'T BUY
Buy for its dividend?

It pays a 6.5% yield, but he doesn't buy stocks only for the dividend. He wants growth. Prefers FedEx.

DON'T BUY

Struggling for a long time. Capital intensive. Had to raise wages a lot. Behind the 8 ball compared to, say, AMZN (a more efficient logistics business). Competitive industry. Higher energy prices a problem, as are tariffs. One of those cases where it's fallen a lot, but that doesn't make it a good business.

DON'T BUY

It could be a value trap and the dividend may be at risk. World trade is contracting so this could affect its business going forward.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

You want to buy stocks when they're down. A deal at 10.5x PE with 11% growth. Don't have to jump in right now, but he'd sell puts ~$75.

Bad year, tariff uncertainty, high labour costs, elevated capex, high debt. Market didn't like reduction in business with AMZN, but it's a low-margin business. E-commerce continues to grow, looking to expand in Mexico. Thinks earnings will inflect this year. Loves the dividend of 7%.

DON'T BUY

Down 33% this year. What worries him is the 7% dividend yield; high dividends tend to be trouble.



DON'T BUY

Transport stocks in general have been weak. One of the weakest stocks in the sector. Execution problems. He's the last guy to try to pick a bottom. Yield is 7%, without huge coverage. Doesn't expect dividend cut, but doesn't inspire confidence when entire earnings go to pay the dividend. Stay away.

DON'T BUY

Business isn't good for them (or FedEx). Shares are -20% this year. They seem to be getting their act together, but it's tough to own.

DON'T BUY

He questions their strategy. Prefers FedEx.

DON'T BUY

Is -16% the past year, and yields 5%. After reading an article today about UPS, he'd rather buy FedEx.

WEAK BUY

Leans more domestic. Very profitable, historical 20% ROE. Very good dividend and historically stable, though payout ratio is getting uncomfortably high so be careful. Good growth. Lots of opportunity to enhance efficiencies.

BUY

A dividend pick for 2025. Is down a lot from their highs. A contrarian play. It pays around a 5% dividend yield. It trades at a reasonable valuation and offers decent earnings growth in 2025 of 5-7%. Collect the dividend and enjoy a little capital appreciation on top. You won't shoot the lights out, but you can relax with this steady earner.

DON'T BUY

It's gone down so much and there's more fear heading into the holiday season. You get the 5% dividend yield, but share remain too expensive.

WEAK BUY

It is OK for a long term play and pays a dividend. Everyone uses it so it is a safe investment but not very exciting. What happens if the U.S. economy slows down.
