United Parcel Service (UPS) is reportedly expanding its ground portfolio, with significant implications for logistics stocks as supply chain disruptions continue. Despite recent market gains, their stock has seen a reduction, attributed to issues such as tariffs' threat to their retail and industrial end markets. Furthermore, the company is facing a class action lawsuit, and announcement of a practically in-line Q4 financial performance didn't steer the stock upwards. Meanwhile, efforts to increase domestic margins are outlined for the upcoming year and the anticipation of better returns is tempered by reports of a $45 million SEC-imposed penalty for inappropriately valuing a business unit. There are also concerns over a possible UPS strike and allegations of inhumane working conditions. However, innovation is apparent with the news that robots could soon outnumber humans 15 to 1 at their warehouse. In light of news revealing marginal growth, UPS stock has hit a 52-week low of $108.65. The firm's journey towards becoming a dividend aristocrat is also imminent.
