UPS in 2026: Near-Term Risk, Long-Term Opportunity
(NYSE: UPS) stock presents investors with a classic investment conundrum. What do you do with a stock that looks positioned for long-term growth, but faces near-term risk? Here's why that's the case with UPS stock right now, and what you need to know before buying it.
Many people think that Amazon's growing delivery business could hurt established companies like UPS, but there's still plenty of delivery work to go around. The real issue for UPS is making its deliveries as profitable as possible.
As such, UPS' plan to reduce low-margin and unprofitable deliveries from the e-commerce giant by lowering Amazon's delivery volume by 50% from the start of 2025 to the middle of 2026 makes perfect sense. In addition, management's focus on growing targeted, higher-margin end markets, such as healthcare logistics and small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), will drive margin expansion.
