Company Report

UPS' Package Margins Still Pressured, but Cost Takeout on Track

UPS is the giant among global small-parcel delivery companies, and it’s one of three commercial providers that dominate the global landscape; FedEx and UPS are the major US incumbents, while DHL Express leads in Europe. The company divested its less-than-truckload division, UPS Freight, in 2021 as part of CEO Carol Tomé's "better, not bigger" framework. In September 2023, UPS also divested its asset-light truck brokerage unit, Coyote, which it acquired in 2015.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

UPS' US ground and express package delivery operations should enjoy positive long-term tailwinds from e-commerce growth.

Bears

Amazon is ramping down the packages it sends via UPS by more than 50% by mid-2026. We believe UPS can rationalize capacity on roughly a 1-for-1 basis with lost Amazon volume (over time), but execution risk remains.
