United Parcel Service's (UPS) stock slumped by 5% due to various concerns in the market, such as tariff threats to retail and industrial end markets. The company made a series of announcements about its performance and steps toward growth - it released earnings for 4Q 2024 and provided 2025 guidance, both of which were expected by analysts. Despite some bad news that wasn't as serious as initially speculated, UPS's US domestic margins are expected to progress in the coming year. It also intends to close its Commerce City, Colorado facility while proceeding with bold moves like ground portfolio expansion. UPS faces lawsuits and penalties, notably a $45 million fine from the SEC for inappropriately valuing a business unit. Few of its alternatives and competitors are predicted to gain ground by 2025. The company's use of technology and AI is notable - it plans to mobilize robots outnumbering people 15 to 1 in a massive new US warehouse by 2024. However, UPS continues to face hurdles with its workforce, and there are concerns about potential UPS strikes that could be highly costly.
