Financial data is approximate and based on most recent annual filings.

πŸ’‘ Did You Know?

UPS drivers follow routes optimized to minimize left turns (which waste time waiting for traffic). This saves 10 million gallons of fuel annually. The company's ORION routing system processes 250 million address points daily. UPS Worldport in Louisville, Kentucky processes 2 million packages per hour.

πŸ“ Analyst Take

UPS is a logistics duopoly with FedEx, protected by massive infrastructure barriers to entry. The 'better not bigger' strategy improved margins but Amazon's growing in-house delivery network is the long-term threat. The dividend yield and buybacks make it a cash-return story at current valuations.
