United Parcel Service (UPS) disclosed their
Q4 2023 earnings, which showed a
favorable return of 60% over the last five years. The growth led to the company
raising their price target to $157.00. It even surpassed the Q4 earnings expectations, leading to a planned
dividend hike. Despite these positive indicators, the company outlined plans to
eliminate 12,000 positions due to a declining revenue outlook from weak parcel demand. Nevertheless, the cost cuts have triggered a stock climb and a
UBS upgrade.
There were rumors of a possible
strike by the company's workers, but it was effectively averted with the approval of a
new contract. UPS is also moving towards automation by opening a
new warehouse with 3,000 robots. This massive job cut also includes
closure of at least 200 facilities. Furthermore, the conditions at UPS warehouses have been criticized, with allegations of heavy workloads and missing pay, sparking
concerns among the investors.
