UNITED PARCEL SVC IN B (UPS) is drawing unusual attention today. Our newswire has captured 24 stories on UPS across 14 sources in the last 36 hours, with AI sentiment reading bullish (avg 62/100).
UPS stock is moving today after reporting better-than-expected second-quarter 2026 earnings and raising its full-year revenue guidance. The company delivered adjusted earnings per share of $1.76, exceeding the $1.66 estimate. It also increased its FY2026 revenue forecast to $91.2 billion from $89.7 billion. The stock opened with a $115.01 price, a 1.8% gap up from the previous close, but has since fallen to $107.00.
What Happened
United Parcel Service reported strong Q2 results that included a 9.2% non-GAAP operating margin and a doubling of free cash flow. The company also announced it has completed the reduction of lower-margin Amazon package volume, eliminating 2 million pieces per day of lower-quality Amazon volume. These moves, along with operational efficiencies and higher-margin deliveries, helped drive the earnings beat and outlook upgrade. The CEO highlighted that the company is now focused on more profitable business and has completed job cuts and the Amazon contract wind-down.
