United Parcel Service (UPS) plans to acquire Andlauer Healthcare Group for $1.6 Billion, aiming to strengthen global healthcare logistics. They face pressure from tariff related economic fallout and have been hit with a class action lawsuit over growth projections and bias allegations. While its Q4 earnings align with expectations, the stock fell. Along with an improper business unit valuation saw UPS pay a $45m penalty. It also faced accusations of fraud and theft from four employees in Mesa. The company announced quarterly dividends for Q2, Q3, and Q4 of 2024, showing resilience in its financial performance. Supply chain disruptions proved beneficial to UPS and other logistics firms. They plan a significant expansion of their ground portfolio. Its US domestic margins are expected to see progress despite potential tariff threats to Retail and Industrial end markets. There has been recent discussion of staff reduction and warehouse closure, with unions stepping into discussions. UPS has also successfully completed the acquisition of Bomi Group to grow its healthcare logistics business and replaced FedEx as the US Postal Service's primary air cargo provider. However, UPS's transition to electric vans is being slowed by battery shortages and low supply.
