UPS Raises 2026 Outlook After Q2 Revenue Beat, Restructuring Gains Traction
UPS sits 31% above its 52-week low of $82.
Summary
UPS lifted its full-year adjusted EPS guidance to $7.22 (vs. $7.10 consensus) and revenue to ~$91.2B after Q2 revenue rose 7.6% to $22.83B, beating estimates by nearly $1B. Adjusted EPS of $1.76 also topped the $1.66 Street view. The raised outlook follows an earlier morning headline on the operating profit target increase, but this update adds the full quarterly results and detailed guidance. CEO Carol Tomé declared the multi-year restructuring essentially complete, citing cost cuts, reduced Amazon volume, and a leaner automated network. Despite the beats, shares fell 4.5% as reported profit dropped sharply on a large after-tax restructuring charge and higher fuel costs. The company is pivoting to premium, SMB, and healthcare shipments while investing in RFID and AI for network efficiency.
