United Parcel Service: Poised For Significant Margin Reset
UPS
Published: June 24, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive

We rate UPS Strong Buy with a $158 price target, seeing 59% upside as the market underappreciates its margin reset and efficiency transformation. UPS's $3.5bn cost-out program, network automation, and deliberate exit from low-margin Amazon volumes will drive structural margin expansion and EBITDA outperformance. Our above-consensus EBITDA estimates reflect confidence in cost execution, margin mix, and resilient international performance, with risks centered on execution and macro headwinds.

United Parcel Service: A High-Yield Bargain In An Expensive Market
UPS
Published: June 23, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive

There are three secular trends coinciding and creating a confluence of long-term tailwinds for United Parcel Service. UPS's 10-year dividend growth rate is 9.3%, although this was skewed higher by a ~50% dividend boost in early 2022. UPS moved its revenue from $58.4 billion in FY 2015 to $91.1 billion in FY 2024. That's a compound annual growth rate of 5.1%.

New June Fortune 500 Industry Leaders Show 3 Ideal "Safer" Dividend Buys
COP, CVS, DOW, ET, HD, IP, MET, NKE, NVDA, OMC, PEP, SYY, UNH, UPS, VZ, WBA, WHR, WKC
Published: June 20, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive

Three Fortune 500 Industry Leaders—Energy Transfer, Verizon, and World Kinect—currently meet the 'dogcatcher' ideal of fair price and safer dividends. Analyst targets project 21% to 50% net gains for the top ten F500IL dividend dogs by June 2026, with average gains of 28.8%. Most top-yielding F500IL stocks remain overpriced, but a 60% market correction or dividend increases could make all ten fairly priced for income investors. Twelve F500IL stocks have negative free cash flow margins, making them unsafe for dividends; focus on the three 'safer' fair-priced options for now.

UPS: The Near 7% Yield Is Worth A Look, Shares Near Key Support
UPS
Published: May 23, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive

UPS offers a nearly 7% dividend yield, which I believe is safe due to strong free cash flow, despite recent underperformance. Cost-cutting initiatives and domestic margin strength could drive efficiency gains, making current low valuation levels attractive for investors. Valuation is compelling: Even a conservative 15x P/E suggests UPS is undervalued, with upside potential if earnings rebound from cyclical lows.

UPS: Cut The Costs
UPS
Published: May 22, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive

UPS is trading near Covid lows after a 34% YTD decline. Long-term headwinds include high costs and declining margins, but management is targeting $1B in savings through efficiency initiatives. Revenues are not growing but are stable. There is a risk from the trade war, but as long as the dividend is not cut, the risk/reward ratio is attractive.
