🚨 Trigger Alert: CEO + Director Buying In

👀 Insiders rarely drop over $1M unless they smell opportunity (or are really into cardboard).

🏦 Institutions Also Onboard (with Room in the Truck)

• 🧠 70.43% of shares held by institutions

• 🏛️ Top holders include: Vanguard, Blackrock, State Street, JPMorgan, and even... Bank of America

• ✅ Yet insiders hold only 0.03% — a curious imbalance

🔍 For UPS's Institutional Ownership breakdown, see here. 

💵 Full-Year 2024 Snapshot:

• Revenue: $91.1B

• EPS: $6.75 (GAAP) / $7.72 (non-GAAP)

• Operating Margin: 9.3%

• Free Cash Flow: $6.3B

• 🪙 Returned $5.9B to shareholders via dividends + buybacks

🥇 That dividend yield? A delicious 7.6% 🍩

📦 2025 Outlook: Change in Route

UPS isn’t just loading boxes. They’re reloading strategy:

📉 Letting go of 50% volume from their largest customer
📦 Fully insourcing UPS SurePost
🔧 Reconfiguring their entire U.S. network
💡 Launching “Efficiency Reimagined” to save 💲1 billion

"We’re reshaping our ops to become more profitable, agile, and differentiated," says CEO Carol Tomé.

🙃 Translation: We’re pivoting hard and praying margins improve.

📊 2Q 2025 Earnings Highlights:

• Revenue: $21.2B

• Operating Margin: 8.6%

• EPS: $1.51

• ✂️ Still on track with cost-saving goals

🔍 Valuation Metrics: Cheap or a Trap?

📦 UPS might look like a bargain bin blue chip — but will it deliver?

💥 Bull Case: It’s Not Dead Weight

• ✅ Still profitable

• ✅ CEO just bought in

• ✅ Strong dividend = income machine

• ✅ Transformation plan could pay off

• ✅ Institutional vote of confidence

🐻 Bear Case: Might Be a Trap

• 🚫 Growth? Basically in reverse.

• 🔥 Operating margins under pressure

• 🌍 Global uncertainty, trade risks, tariff tantrums

• 🚚 Freight demand? Meh.

• 📉 Potential for more downside if the economy worsens

🧠 Bottom Line:

UPS might be shipping value — or quietly packing disappointment.

You’re betting on:

1. The restructuring plan succeeding

2. The dividend staying juicy

3. The market not getting uglier

If you're looking for income and patient value, it might be worth the weight (pun intended). But if you want growth, this truck may be stuck in traffic.

📬 Invest wisely. Or risk getting delivered… pain.
