BEARISH
On Nov 6, United Parcel Service reported Q3 2026 revenue of $22.9 billion, up 6.7 % from the prior year, but net income fell 11.3 % to $1.16 billion and basic EPS dropped 11.6 % to $1.37, compressing the net profit margin to 4.8 %. The share price declined 2.9 % in reaction to the gap between a premium P/E multiple and the company’s restrained margins, signaling concerns about future profitability. On Nov 5, the company announced that it had posted stronger‑than‑expected quarterly earnings on Oct 27, raised its full‑year guidance, and reaffirmed its dividend policy, which had already begun to warm investor sentiment. That announcement had triggered a 22.73 % return over 30 days and an 8.23 % gain over 7 days. Also on Nov 5, UPS added Shannon Eisenhardt to its Board of Directors; her background in logistics and technology was noted as a routine governance update with no immediate operational impact. Finally, on Nov 5, UPS disclosed plans to cut 30,000 jobs by 2026 to boost automation and AI, a move intended to reduce labor costs but potentially impacting service capacity during peak periods.

Reverse DCF

What growth is priced into UPS?

FAIR

At today's price, United Parcel Service, Inc. needs to grow free cash flow about -0.9% a year for 3 years, slowing to a long-run rate by year 10, to justify its valuation at a 7.26% cost of capital. Over the last five years its revenue has trended at -2.8% a year, so the market is asking for 1.9 percentage points above its own delivered rate. On that basis UPS looks priced roughly in line with its own growth record.

25.9% 69th pct
Below its peak

vs 200-day average
+9.3%
Up days (1y)
56%

United Parcel Service, Inc. is currently running 25.9% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against UPS's own 13 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 69th percentile — a little above its own norm, against a typical reading of 20.6%.

UPS is trading -50.5% below its running peak. Across 13 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -23.4%, and the deepest was -39.5% in 2025. The current drawdown is already deeper than this stock's typical annual low point, which puts it in the part of its range where past recoveries began, and where past declines also continued.

Price sits +9.3% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 86th percentile — a wider gap than this stock usually carries. Over the past year UPS closed higher on 56% of sessions, and it is currently 1 session into a rising streak.

On November specifically: over 13 years of records, UPS finished the month higher 11 of 13 times, with a median return of +3.7% and an average of +4.1%. Its strongest month historically has been November at +4.1% on average, its weakest January at -3.2%.

Overnight risk is measurable too: UPS has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 47 of 3,267 sessions (1.4% of the time), with the largest gaps running +3.6% and -12.7%.

Across the last 4 dated reports on file, UPS moved an average of 1.7% in the session after earnings, closing higher 1 of those 4 times, with a median move of -0.9% and a largest of -3.3%.

All figures computed from 3,268 daily closes between 2013-11-06 and 2026-11-04, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against UPS's own 13-year history, not a peer group or index.
