DBS analyst Paul Yong initiates coverage on $United Parcel Service (UPS.US)$ with a buy rating, and sets the target price at $155.
According to TipRanks data, the analyst has a success rate of 60.0% and a total average return of 4.4% over the past year.
Furthermore, according to the comprehensive report, the opinions of $United Parcel Service (UPS.US)$'s main analysts recently are as follows:
UPS has demonstrated its ability to enhance productivity and margins, particularly as it progresses into the second year of the Teamster contract and faces a diminishing inflation environment. The Q3 report is likely to reinforce confidence in UPS's potential for margin improvement.
Following the company's Q3 report, estimates for Q4, and projections for 2024 and 2025 EPS were adjusted upwards by 1%, 2%, and 4%, respectively. The company has revised its revenue forecast to $91.1B, and driven by cost efficiencies, it has revised its FY24 group operating margin goal, increasing it slightly.
The recent decline in UPS's stock following the Q3 report may be linked to a broadly cautious or indifferent stance towards a sector where a much-anticipated turning point continues to be delayed.
