Is UPS Stock a Buy?
(NYSE: UPS) stock is attracting a lot of attention from value investors, and rightly so. The stock's 4.5% dividend yield will please income-seeking investors, and the company has plenty of recovery potential as the economy, hopefully, improves and capacity gets taken out of the parcel delivery sector. There's a lot to like about UPS, but is it time to pull the trigger and buy the stock as it trades around the $137 mark? Here's the lowdown.
Investors were naturally cautious going into the company's third-quarter earnings. Its rival, FedEx (NYSE: FDX), had already disappointed the market by lowering its full-year 2025 guidance on its first-quarter fiscal 2025 earnings report in September. FedEx management's commentary alluded to weaker-than-expected end markets, a shift to lower-margin delivery options, and particular weakness in the lucrative business-to-business (B2B) market.
This spelled trouble ahead for UPS because UPS significantly lowered its full-year guidance in July.
