Looking forward, the company reiterated its FY24 guidance and expects its revenues to range from $92 billion to $94.5 billion, with adjusted operating margin likely to be between 10% and 10.6%.

Is UPS Stock a Buy or Sell?

Analysts remain cautiously optimistic about UPS stock, with a Moderate Buy consensus rating based on 10 Buys, nine Holds, and one Sell. Over the past year, UPS has declined by more than 20%, and the average UPS price target of $159.95 implies an upside potential of 10% from current levels.
