Description: UPS United Parcel Service January 29, 2026
United Parcel Service (NYSE: UPS) is a global package delivery and logistics firm that operates through two primary segments: U.S. Domestic Package, which handles time-definite air and ground deliveries across the United States, and International Package, which offers a suite of day-definite, cross-border, and palletized shipping services in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Canada, and Latin America.
In its most recent fiscal year (2023), UPS generated $91.0 billion in revenue, with an operating margin of 7.5 %. Daily shipment volume averaged roughly 22 million packages, and e-commerce-related shipments grew 12 % year-over-year, reflecting the continued shift toward online retail. Fuel costs, which account for about 5 % of total expenses, rose 8 % YoY, pressuring margins.
Key drivers for UPS’s performance include sustained e-commerce growth (U.S. e-commerce sales are projected to reach $1.1 trillion in 2024), global trade volatility (container freight rates have fluctuated ±30 % over the past 12 months), and labor market tightness that is elevating wage pressures in both the U.S. and overseas logistics networks.
