The stronger-than-expected results lifted investor confidence, sending UPS shares up by 10% in premarket trading.
United Parcel Service (UPS) posted stronger-than-expected third-quarter results, outperforming analyst forecasts compiled by LSEG.
The company reported adjusted earnings of $1.74 per share, well above Wall Street’s estimate of $1.30. Revenue came in at $21.4 billion, exceeding expectations of $20.83 billion.
For the quarter ending September 30, UPS recorded a net income of $1.31 billion, or $1.55 per share, down from $1.99 billion, or $1.80 per share, a year earlier.
After accounting for one-time expenses tied to its transformation strategy, adjusted profit totaled $1.48 billion, or $1.74 per share.
United Parcel Service (UPS) expects to generate about $24 billion in revenue during the fourth quarter, projecting an operating margin between 11% and 11.5%.
On Tuesday, the company shared new details of its ongoing turnaround strategy, confirming a deeper round of job cuts than initially planned.
UPS said it has eliminated 34,000 positions, surpassing its earlier estimate of 20,000, as part of efforts to streamline operations and reduce its reliance on Amazon, which was once its biggest customer.
United Parcel Service (UPS) said it completed a sale-leaseback deal during the third quarter involving five properties, generating a pre-tax gain of $330 million within its supply chain solutions unit.
The move is part of a wider effort to make the company’s real estate portfolio more efficient.
UPS also confirmed that it has closed daily operations at 93 owned and leased facilities through September as part of its ongoing restructuring plan.
The company reported that its turnaround strategy has already delivered $2.2 billion in savings by the end of the third quarter. UPS expects total cost reductions to reach $3.5 billion year over year by 2025 as it continues tightening operations and cutting expenses.
UPS Chief Executive Officer Carol Tomé said the company is carrying out the most significant strategic transformation in its history, focused on driving long-term value for customers, employees, and shareholders alike.
“As the holiday shipping season approaches, we are ready to operate at peak efficiency and deliver top-tier service to our customers for the eighth year in a row,” Tomé said.
United Parcel Service’s (UPS) strong quarterly performance comes at a time when the global parcel industry is navigating a turbulent trade landscape marked by shifting tariffs and weaker demand. The sector has also been adjusting to the effects of the discontinued de minimis import exemption.
Rival FedEx recently disclosed that it absorbed $150 million in headwinds tied to global trade challenges, highlighting the broader difficulties confronting logistics companies worldwide.
