Furthermore, according to the comprehensive report, the opinions of $United Parcel Service (UPS.US)$'s main analysts recently are as follows:
The anticipated market recovery in the transport sector continues to evolve at a gradual pace, which may jeopardize the significant earnings growth projected for 2025. In the short term, there appears to be a downside risk for the typically weaker first quarter, with adjustments in estimates across several sub-sectors due to a notable amount of freight being moved earlier in anticipation of potential tariffs.
Looking ahead into Q4 results and the 2025 outlooks, the recommendation remains to focus on early cycle opportunities. It appears that volume may start to include better industrial freight prospects. While near-term expectations are adjusting, the underlying fundamentals are trending positively.
