Description: UPS United Parcel Service December 03, 2025
United Parcel Service (NYSE: UPS) operates as a global package delivery and logistics provider through two primary segments: U.S. Domestic Package, which delivers time-definite letters, parcels and palletized freight via air and ground within the United States, and International Package, which handles small-package, e-commerce, and palletized shipments across Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Canada, and Latin America. The firm also offers ancillary services such as air and ocean freight forwarding, contract logistics, customs brokerage, insurance, healthcare logistics, and post-sale distribution.
Key recent metrics underscore UPS’s scale and exposure to macro trends: FY 2023 revenue reached $91 billion, with an adjusted operating margin of 7.5 %-down modestly from prior years due to higher fuel and labor costs. E-commerce volume grew ~ 6 % YoY, driven by cross-border online sales, while the company’s “Supply Chain Solutions” segment contributed roughly $5 billion in revenue, reflecting a broader industry shift toward integrated logistics. Core economic drivers include freight-rate volatility, fuel price fluctuations, and the ongoing labor shortage in the U.S. trucking sector, all of which can materially affect cost structure and pricing power.
