Could Buying UPS Stock Today Set You Up for Life?
UPS (NYSE: UPS), one of the world's largest shipping couriers, might seem like a reliable long-term investment. But over the past five years, its stock declined 40%. Even after including its reinvested dividends, it delivered a negative total return of 28%.
UPS struggled as its macro headwinds, labor disputes, and competitive challenges throttled its growth. But at $87, it trades at just 12 times next year's earnings and pays a hefty forward dividend yield of 7.6%. Should investors buy this unloved stock, collect its big dividends, and expect it to generate life-changing gains over the next few decades?
