UPS CEO increases her pay
This month, as hundreds of its Philly-area workers receive a pay cut, UPS is reporting record share prices, and quarterly earnings that nearly doubled from 2020 to 2021 for a profit of $3.9 billion.
“They’re not hurting,” Hooker Jr. said at the rally. “The CEO gets on TV and says they’re a year ahead of schedule while making $14.4 million herself. So you’re gonna take from the people that made those profits available?”
UPS is a strong buy! Cutting workers wages from $19 to $15 an hour will save company millions!!
UPS cuts wages 20% for hundreds of part-time Philly workers, taking them by surprise

Yesterday, 10:15 a.m.
Two thousand UPS workers in the Philadelphia region have signed onto a demand to raise wages after part-time employees were hit with an unannounced pay cut.
A Thursday morning protest organized by the Teamsters 623 Local union drew about 75 workers, elected officials, and organizers to the South Philly UPS complex. The Oregon Avenue shipping center employs more than 1,350 people across customer service, drivers, and warehousing, according to a union spokesperson.
Shamar Hudson, a warehouse worker getting off his shift as the rally began, told Billy Penn there wasn’t any warning from management before his pay was slashed from $19 to $15 an hour
UPS "CEO says results are sustainable"
"UPS CEO Carol Tome says the shipping giant is firing on all 12 cylinders as it focuses on more profitable packages and feels the tailwinds of greater online shopping and increased shipments of health care products such as COVID-19 vaccines.
"We think they [the results] are sustainable," Tome told Yahoo Finance Live in an exclusive interview."
"On Tuesday, UPS smashed analyst sales and profit forecasts on the back of a strong holiday shopping season online. The company's operating profit margins expanded in all business segments, in part fueled by Tome's strategy to zero in on things UPS does well and trim other areas. "

+14.3% thus far today and set a new 52-week high. The dividend boost is huge at 48% increase. We have all of our dividends automatically reinvested in our UPS position at no cost to us.
UPS boosts dividend by 48%, stock rises. Very welcome amid a weak stock market.

It's going to be a UPS kind of day.
$UPS looks like it's about to test the 50-day MA again.
$UPS = well run business. WalMart is projecting record XMAS sales. Customers have lots of cash saved up from CoVid; spending more on goods because they can't spend on services (restaurants, vacays, etc.), i.e., stuff that increasingly requires a delivery service. Omicron is on the way. All very bullish things for UPS's business model.
MFool: Why does Buffett own such a tiny_UPS_position?
"3 Stocks Warren Buffett Should Use His $149 Billion Stash to Buy"
"Berkshire Hathaway technically owns shares of package delivery giant UPS. But the stake makes up less than a hundredth of a percent of its portfolio. UPS is Buffett's smallest stock holding, but there are many reasons it deserves to be one of his largest."

Quite a surprise! Another reason I (and Charlie) say "The More You Trade, The More You Lose." Now, if BRK would just move up a bit..."
Great Q. And UPS upped guidance and increased its projected margins going forward.
"UPS EPS beats by $0.16, beats on revenue, raises FY2021 guidance"

And we know they'll be better-than-expected because... well-run company. I fear as interest rates go up, it'll take a not insignificant bite out of UPS. And, DWAC was impossible to resist today.
UPS reports earnings next Tuesday, I think. Of course I'm holding as I have for >a decade.
There are still strong buy recommendations with price targets from $233 - $251, so I will continue to hold. UPS is a strong hold IMO.
Several reasons. Mostly, it's reached over-bought territory and the stock hasn't done well there recently and starting other positions today.
Why did you sell now?
Out at ~$196.
Round 2, after one factors for slightly larger position plus no tax shield, netted about the same profit as Round 1. However, Round 1 was ~7 months vs ~2 weeks for Round 2.
Still in. Not time to sell yet.
What happened to your "flip?" Are you in, or out, or watching... or all of the above?
UPS is popping this morning. Not sure why. Don't care. It was over-sold.
UPS is a market stock. Stock should be inline for a good couple days with the debt ceiling drama, China drama, and other drama behind it for the moment.
In for a flip at $178.xx. We'll see how she goes.
UPS on edge of losing major support: 200-day MA (daily chart).
Significant gap downward to high $170's. I think UPS's stock price trades in step with the overall market, as well as based on yield moreso than being driven by the company's performance. Yield is still low in the 2.2%ish range while the 10-year is at 1.5%ish.
Stock is significantly oversold and still in danger of dropping several more dollars. If that happens, I might have to buy back in for the bounce.
UPS is a well-run company. I'm just surprised at what a laggard the stock has been during long stretches of the pandemic. It was basically $115 before the pandemic (late 2019) and today, it's precariously sitting above the 200-day MA ($184ish) at $185. That's a 60% increase, which is nothing to scoff at but it should be more. E-commerce will continue to expand and grow, and with it UPS's prospects.
Long term is positive for UPS holders and will be strong going forward.
Below expectations. Pandemic was an absolute boon to this sector.
Compared to FedEx (the inferior company), they've lagged.
FedEx vs UPS
They have went from $90 to as high as $219 over the past year plus paid over $4 a share in dividends.
Wish all my holdings acted like this "dog". Lol.
Just saying.....
For as well-run of a company as UPS is their stock is certainly acts like a dog. Made a few day trades to potentially re-establish my position with UPS but I'm not sure I want to now. Lol.
United Parcel Service, Inc. $UPS
Total Debt (mrq) $26.81B
Book Value Per Share (mrq) $8.22
JP Morgan ups price target to $243 and upgrades to "Overweight". The recent dip in UPS shares presents a tremendous buying opportunity.
Buy some calls.
That's some worthless information.
"such as perhaps...the basic form of how the stock market moves around on any time frame..." ???
UPS buy 216.38
nice bull flag pause here before it takes off to the next level...

Now $205! UPS keeps rising. Wonder whether Buffett is adding. I said that a few months ago, and he wasn't.
I believe UPS was a Todd Combs or Ted Weschler stock buy. With regard to Todd, even though BRK apparently divested its large position in JPM, Todd Combs was still on the proxy for reelection to the JPM board.
When in doubt -- which is the normal situation with investments -- remember this advice: "The More You Trade, The More You Lose"
https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/profilea.aspx?user=42712
Warren Buffett should be ashamed that he's held a token amount of UPS for years but never expanded it to a meaningfully sized investment for BRK.
Ouch. $191 in pre-trading. Swing-and-a-miss!

"Selling Winners And Holding Losers - Even The Smartest Investors Get It Wrong
The study of how human instinct impacts on investment decisions is hotly debated and sometimes controversial. But even Ben Graham, the father of value investing, was aware of the potential for investors to err. He famously warned that "the investor's chief problem - and even his worst enemy - is likely to be himself."
One of the best known behavioural trap-doors is to hang onto losing investments for too long and sell winning positions too soon. It's a phenomenon known as the Disposition Effect. For years, researchers have warned that investors can damage returns by cutting winners and riding losers. Often, this warning has been pitched in the direction of relatively unsophisticated retail investors. But new research suggests that the same behavioral flaw exists in some of the market's smartest and best-informed traders - Short Sellers.
It serves as a reminder that the risk of succumbing to selling the wrong positions is something every investor needs to be aware of. So here's a review of how things can go wrong and why smart investors are susceptible too.
"Some of the best research into the consequences of all this was done by [Berkeley Professor] Terrance Odean, who waded through 10,000 accounts held at an American discount broker between 1987 and 1993. He found a clear tendency for investors to sell winning positions over losing positions. Moreover, there was no good reason for it - there was no evidence that these investors were deliberately rebalancing their portfolios. On average, after one year, the losing stock, that was held, fell by 1.0% against the market. While the winning stock, that was sold, actually gained 2.4% above the market."

I lost on this one. It had been fairly range bound but broke out to the upside on this one.
Anytime you sell a stock there's a 52% chance you made a mistake, according to academic research. That's why I rarely sell my blue chips. Of course, I only buy quality stocks like UPS to begin with.
I picked a bad week to sell my UPS shares.
Blade will be coming to an IPO soon. For now, UPS is a way of buying into that tech. I was looking at some YT videos on those "planes."
There was a feature on these and UPS's purchase on CNBC one morning last week, including extensive video, etc.
