A union shop like USPS or UPS is good money for last mile delivery drivers. Dispatch contractors take anyone with a pulse and pay a couple bucks over minimum wage.

AdAny631

Yeah, Jassy sucks. He brings nothing to the table. Amazon is a dominant force but it is begging to be disrupted. AWS numbers aren't going to keep going up and the logistics business is just a newer and shinier UPS. However, Amazon switching to Rivian EV, flex drivers and USPS allows them to dodge the last mile gas increase. UPS is screwed unless they hedged with oil/gas futures. I sure hope a company of that size does.

Lmao UPS is offering a lot of their drivers a $150k check if they voluntarily quit because they’re trying to size down. Quit, take that $150k and throw it into 0dtes

There are some pretty interesting setups today. With the historic run on spy, there's good money in shorting 705 to 710 14 days out, there's enough premium that even if you were going to get in trouble you could roll it, but after this run, the stats start favoring you pretty hard. Short puts on a company like UPS makes sense if you believe oil is going to trend down the rest of the year and tariffs are going to come off. The 95 or $100 strike is pretty juicy, I would probably sell more time with this one so the thesis could play out,.

For others coming back, I got into Motley Fool around 2022. I selectively bought their recommendations, just didn't always have cash to put in. Still, I got \~40 stocks on their recommendations. Four years later, the total portfolio is ... up 4.2%. Compared to the market, that's abysmal. Compared to a CD that's abysmal. Looking back, their picks were suspicious at the time as well - and I thought so, but I was trying their system so I followed their system. Choosing Zoom at the peak of their boom was chancey. And sure enough it's down 25% from where I bought it. I'd say about 2/3 of their picks are down, many by over 50%. A few winners like Adove, AMD, Crowdstrike, or even Nvidia barely get the whole thing back above water. There is a reason they are marketing their gains since 2002 instead of recent performance. I think they had some early wins and are still trying to market that past performance. Let me give alternate advice, which I received years ago, which has proven much more effective: 1) Indexing (SPY, FXAIX) is good. Hold your cash, wait for a crash, and then throw it in. This seems to happen every 5 years or so now and I think the current pressure (Spring 2026) is downward, so we should be dropping somewhere in the next 1-24 months. 2) Professional investing, making wins every month or quarter, is hard. Private investing is not. Sit back, think through where the world will be in 5-10 years, and put your money into it. 10 years ago I figured ecommerce was on the rise (you don't have to be a guru to notice these things) and invested in Fedex, UPS, and several online shopping platforms. 5-10 years later you're good. I missed out a bit as I didn't anticipate Amazon cutting UPS out, I should have gotten out after my investment doubled but I let it ride. I'm still up, just not as up. I'm on another cycle now and just looking at macro trends and where the world is going, and then putting some money behind it.

Capable-Yak-8486

Both can be true. You’re correct in that the dollar can be overinflated, it doesn’t disprove my point. Dozens of companies have reported large layoffs: Amazon: 30,000 UPS: 30,000 Pinterest: 15% of staff Epic: 25% of total staff Plus, just speak to your friends, neighbors, and family across the country for anecdotal evidence. Everyone is struggling. If you truly don’t see the economy is struggling in every aspect outside of the stock market, which isn’t a true reflection of such, then we’re at a crossroads, and likely in different tax brackets.

Able_Perception4032

I have some shares, but I'm perplexed as to how more miles logged by Aurora in Texas don't translate into higher stock price. It's like investors are treating this stock like a UPS or FedEx, while I treat it as a tech play. Are investors fearful of AI running roughshod over this industry too?

Whoever could pick up the Slack but usually that was USPS doing that for UPS, FedEx and Amazon with Last Mile Service. 🤔

FDX. Partially for the June stock split (existing shareholders getting FDXF shares awarded based on their FDX holdings with no tax implications). But mainly because no matter what; shit *always* needs to get from point A to point B, and FDX pays a pretty consistent dividend. Transportation is boring AF as far as stock goes, but people are gradually realizing that there are *very* few downsides to courier businesses like FDX and UPS that don’t rely entirely on any 1 method of transport.

When you apply for UPS: "Write 3 small paragraphs that give us an idea of who you are, and be sure to go indepth on your work related accomplishments" When you order a package through UPS: "Sorry about that stain, somebody left a full water bottle filled with piss in the back of my truck."

UPS is usually sized for 5 minutes or so. Gas turbines can be used but they’re more to supplement the grid rather than backup depending on time. The industry as a whole is looking into it.

The fuel surcharge domino effect is just getting started. Amazon adding surcharges April 17, UPS and FedEx already moved, airlines raising baggage fees. WTI above $110 and Brent touched $141 last week. That's 2008 territory. The part nobody's talking about is how this feeds into CPI with a lag. Energy costs take 4-6 weeks to fully show up in the consumer price data. So the March CPI we get Friday might still look manageable, but April and May are going to be rough. Companies with pricing power are going to separate from the pack fast.

zxc123zxc123

I get where you are coming from but let's not act like a person's financial picture is ONLY their goals. It's also their starting point as well as their current situation and needs. If you're in a high-risk of disruption (UPS truck driver) or job insecure career (contracted movie CGI specialist)? Or have higher than normal needs (pre-existing health and/or multiple children)? Then a FA might suggest otherwise. Problem with OP is we don't know the full picture. Only what they are telling us.

Crazy_Donkies

I read from Vanguard and TD Economics today, a $140 per barrel cost could stall the economy.  It won't crush GDP or even kill the consumer, it will stall it.  We, the economy, analysts, and our retarded administration are expecting this to be temporary.  This, paired with the American service based economy, and that Amazon.com alone has 2x the revenue of Iran's GDP, has many to believe there are answers we dont know about. Seriously.  Amazon is 2x Iran.  Amazon is literally replacing UPS, FEDEX, AND USPS.  While in a country with access to oil resources that is also sheltered from the middle east.  Yes many industries will struggle but people also dont realize the scope and capabilities of American industry.   Calls.

Very undervalued. Profitable already and Aero velocity already is working with UPS to bring drone deliveries to the market..HUGE

KimJongOonn

Also, generally speaking, the stocks that pay dividends (not all stocks do) are only long term, usually stable, profitable, giant companies. By defenition they must be profitable because a dividend is a cut of the company's profit they are sharing with the stockholder, so dividend stocks tend to be safer than your average stock. That said, owning any individual stock comes with risk but dividend stocks like Coca Cola, Pepsi, UPS, Walmart,Verizon, AT & T, etc. are generally pretty safe companies with excellent long term track records.

Opeth4Lyfe

UPS just did this recently. Have a friend who is a sup there and he obviously didn’t take it because it’s a lowball offer compared to what he actually makes and the benefits etc. I have a feeling this is going to be a more common thing in the coming months.

Airlines? UPS? Would make sense

SignImaginary4106

UPS is one of those names where the move usually comes from macro headlines (rates, fuel, freight demand) or guidance, so if you’re in calls make sure you’re not just right on direction but also not getting wrecked by IV crush after the event. I’d look at where your strikes sit vs recent support/resistance and how much extrinsic you’re paying; if you’re holding shorter-dated stuff, consider sizing like a coin flip and/or rolling out to give the thesis time instead of fighting theta. Also worth watching whether the tape is showing real call buying (at/ask, opening) vs call selling/hedges, because that can tell you if “bullish flow” is actually bullish. If you want a quick way to sanity-check unusual activity and see what’s hitting, the options flow feed on [https://strongbuyanalytics.com/options-flow](https://strongbuyanalytics.com/options-flow) can help, then you can decide if you’re aligned with the bigger positioning or just donating premium.

ChineseTuna420420

UPS will be cooked too… same thing that killed your UBER calls… rising fuel prices. Hopefully you don’t have airline or trucking calls too.

fairlyaveragetrader

Depends on the military operations. Getting the straight moving again is priority number one so you just have to wait and see which method they choose to make that happen. You can listen to the generals in admirals that have been doing YouTube videos on the likely strategies that could happen. There are four big ones You have a good technical correction going on though, definitely buyable, 6130 is a big area of interest as well. Lot of individual stocks have already been discounted a lot. Chipotle is cheap, UPS is cheap Even if this turns into a 20% down year, and it could, no one knows that right now, if you're wanting to outperform the S&p 500, this is a surefire way to do it over time. Add fear

I'm between puts on shipping/logistics XPO or UPS, and airlines/truck stops for EOM April or mid May. Get in now and when gas increases they'll be losing profit or raising costs and turning customers away.

McKoijion

> 🇫🇷 French International Criminal Court (ICC) judge Nicolas Guillou, sanctioned by President Trump in August because of the court’s warrant for Netanyahu, says he has been cut off from basic financial and digital services. > “I discovered that almost all payment methods in France today are American,” Guillou said. “The only cards we have in France are Visa and Mastercard.” > He can no longer use Amazon, Airbnb, Booking or Expedia, and some UPS deliveries to his home have also been blocked. > French officials say efforts to lift the sanctions have seen no U.S. response. “If judges are afraid to judge… then we no longer have democracy,” Guillou told France Télévisions. Every country on Earth is rapidly realizing they can't trust the American financial or technological system anymore. On top of that, the Iran war is proving that the US's seemingly unstoppable military is a facade that can't even reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Trump keeps angrily bombing random stuff in Iran but he can't seem to achieve the only thing that matters.

DCA slowly with under valued stocks that I already have a position in. ( mostly) Tsco, UPS, AMT, Some tech stocks that are speculative. Oklo, SMR, circ, Mara, And sitting on a larger pile of cash to buy a crash if it happens ( I’d buy in JEPI , SPYI, or a total us market index fund)

MutedWinter5181

Unpopular opinion perhaps. UPS. I bought a number of shares a few years back, dividend is great but the share price just keeps diving and has not recoup my entry point. It has stiff competition. I still have it but many times it crosses my mind to sell it, but obviously not when the market is down overall. When I do sell it, I know of better stocks I could buy in its place.

Yeah healthcare and financials are my non-tech go-to’s. I haven’t really had the time, but I may finish my UPS position and look at something in healthcare to add soon.

the_Q_spice

Interestingly; Transportation like UPS and FDX. They just add fuel surcharges. Shit still needs to get shipped, and the high margin cargo is always going to move - no matter the price. Both are decent bets with Hormuz closed as well, due to being the biggest air cargo shippers in the world.

Extra 1% doesn't make sense. That's just looking at oil as a percentage of the overall CPI index. As an example if oil is up 30% butoil is only 3% of the index that's a 1% gain. It doesn't take into account how it affects other sectors, for example airfares are soaring right now and the fuel surcharges on UPS packages. We haven't begun to scratch the surface of other things the straight exports such as fertilizer (pretty obvious food prices will spik and semi conductor grade helium. Qatar is one of two places in the world producing such high grade for export and has been shut down.

fairlyaveragetrader

you have to think about what's going to happen next, not what's happening now. Unless this turns into a full-blown ground invasion, the next trade is the recovery so you mentioned UPS and FedEx and how this is bad for their business. It is and that's exactly why you would be looking for an entry. Ups for example has had a pretty good retrace. The next trade is going to be selling oil, buying recovery, the timing, no one's going to really get that perfect without good insight information, but you can scale into positions

Brian-Benjamin

$CJMB Underrated IMO. This one could actually rip to double digits. Amazing management and team, look up the UPS rumor. Lots of catalysts to come here. Plus the war time angle is valid as well.

the_Q_spice

Even higher. Fun fact for everyone saying shipping companies raising prices is to fuel profits: It isn’t. Look at where FedEx and UPS’s headquarters and hubs are. Also look at where major passenger airline hubs are. Then look at this post’s list. The price increases caused by institutional investors are outstripping all of the shipping cost increases, which are largely there just to keep staff employed and the transportation system running. One of the reasons for the transportation woes right now is that basically everyone is understaffed, and local living costs increasing isn’t making that better. Furthermore, what do you think happens if companies like UPS, FedEx, Delta, United, etc have to start shuttering local operations? Because that’s starting to happen now. The rest of the economy crumbles when transportation does.

Real talk tho, trade job or logistics (UPS, FedEx, etc) is a rock solid career alternative these days.

What’s UPS doing on the board?

InclinationCompass

That’s the problem - you’re limiting your view to the reddit groupthink tank, which skew young, and have very little experience working with them. Here’s a post I submitted on another sub. Note that this does not necessarily mean AI is “replacing” humans. But workers will need to adapt, as more tasks are being automated. Not much different from what we’ve seen since the industrial revolution. Meta’s AI-driven ranking system boosted time spent by about 7% on facebook and 6% on instagram, which means more ad views and higher revenue. Its AI ad tools (Advantage+) are improving conversion rates by around 5% and their Q2 revenue was up 22% YoY because of that. Google’s seeing the same thing with advertisers using its AI-driven (Performance Max) campaigns get about 6% more conversions and its revenue grew 14% YoY with AI being a big reason. Amazon cited examples where task completion rates improved by ~57% using AI assistants. Outside of tech, UPS’s AI route optimization saves about 100 million miles driven, 10 million gallons of fuel (around $300–400M a year). Walmart’s using AI and computer vision at Sam’s Club to speed up checkout by 23%, which cuts labor costs and improves throughput. They’re even licensing some of that tech now. And in healthcare, AI reduced radiologists’ workloads by about 33–44% in mammogram screening, while maintaining or improving detection rates. And AI scribe tools cut after-hours work by 30% and time spent in notes per appointment from ~10.3 min to ~8.2 min (20% reduction) for physicians.

Agoraphobicy

I don't actually blame FedEx (aside from having absurd brokerage fees to begin with) if they didn't refund the brokerage fees. It's still work that needed to be done. But like you said if they recover that too, that's great for customers. It was mostly a comment on that it's a complicated issue with more cost than just "tariffs" because it costs everyone more time and resources for the processing time. UPS was the worst rates but they are all roughly the same lol

MyNameCannotBeSpoken

I think folks are going to do it to FedEx and UPS as they have itemized bills for the tariffs

UPS is charging people like $40 per package asa "broker fee" to pay the tariffs. Some of their cronies bought potential tariff reimbursement lawsuit payoffs in advance for pennies on the dollar I'm sure there are plenty more ways they are profiting 

the_Q_spice

As someone who works for an air cargo company; Y’all realize we just hike our fuel surcharges to index the increase right? Air freight in particular doesn’t have an alternative, it is already a premium service people use for the expedited delivery - whatever the cost may be. The biggest company in this industry to be hit will likely be Amazon. They operate an airline (Amazon Air) that has no customer other than themselves. They can’t hike fuel surcharges *because they’d just hurt their bottom line*, and besides that, they can’t pass on their transportation costs for free Prime shipping. Couldn’t come at a worse time for them either, with FedEx only handling certain high-shipping-cost items (and charging them for it), UPS decreasing Amazon volume by 50%, and USPS discontinuing Amazon deliveries. All that fuel cost is now going to hit Amazon in their financial reporting, whereas previously they could hide it as services fees.

retard_trader

UPS is specifically in a financial crisis right now. I think a margin hit for them could result in a huge miss.

Pereise1

Might be priced in already no? Fedex down from $387 to $358 since the start of the war and UPS is down from $116 to $102. Granted, if this continues they might dip further than they are now which is why I have a UAL strangle rn.

retard_trader

Tendies strat: wait two earnings reports from now buy FD puts on UPS, FDX. Elevated gas prices will ruin their fucking margins. It's probably the single biggest contribution margin hit for a delivery service.

Wowmuchrya

With Intel, Oracle, FedEx, UPS, Block, GM, and every other company under the sun laying off 10-30k+ employees each nobody, NOBODY could have seen those jobs numbers coming. Nobody!

derprondo

How are they achieving this charging rate? It's pretty fucking insane TBH. Are they using a high voltage configuration for the cells? I know a little bit about LFP batteries and have built my own whole home UPS with them. I have cells that can handle a 1C charging rate, but even with 300Ah cells that's only a 300A charging rate. A lot of high capacity cells only do .5C.

Hoblitygoodness

Right, but my point remains. It's a budget between paying overtime and not paying another salary. Where paying another salary is likely necessary, beneficial to a person who needs that salary, and the customer who gets better service from someone who hasn't been overworked. Thank you, though. I do appreciate the insight. Maybe I'll apply at UPS.

Cheesehead08

UPS drivers are paid 45/hr. Get a pension, and depending on their local, pay nothing for their health insurance. Like i said, the drivers that are working over 9.5 hours, want the overtime. When i put them out with less than 10 hours of work, they literally will slow down on purpose.

New_Accountant2449

UPS is preparing for life after their contract is up with Amazon which accounts for 30% of their work prior to Amazon starting to do their own deliveries.

krone6

Would this explain the sudden uptick in ship delays across all platforms? USPS, UPS, FedEx, etc? I will get alerts saying "Out for delivery between X and Y" then a few hours later it's delayed to tomorrow and tomorrow comes and now it's delayed again, rinse, repeat.

gogomouth

My Brother works for UPS. He’s one of the drivers that’s taking on larger delivery amounts. He’s unionized and has been thinking of quitting because, yeah he is making good money, but with the way his schedule is so overloaded he never gets time to spend with his family to enjoy the money he’s making.

mak3m3unsammich

And that impacts everyone too. People think oh, it doesnt matter, its UPS. Im an optician and if UPS is late or doesnt deliver, we cant check in the glasses, and that delays people getting their glasses. It also fucks up our shipping time too for invenory. Its getting gnarly, and im sorry yall have to deal with the brunt of it.

asetniop

A UPS delivery guy dropped a really important (and expensive) package full of acoustics equipment at my neighbor's unit - despite clear visible house numbers. The only reason I discovered this and got my shit on time is because I got lucky and actively noticed him delivering it there. I also noticed how exhausted and harried he looked.

Verroquis

UPS has one of the strongest unions in the country for its warehouse workers and drivers. I would bet that anyone at a well-managed facility working above their alloted hours is doing so because they have nothing else going on, because they're saving up for something, or because they have extraordinary expenses related to poor life choices elsewhere (lots of child support payments, or debt and garnished wages, etc etc.) The drivers that have been laid off or reassigned were laid off or reassigned after losing several court battles the union fought. The problem is that one of the strongest unions in the country was unable to stop the layoffs through extended court decisions more than generic business x laying off workers in America.

Cheesehead08

UPS also varies building by building, in my building no one is laid off and the only people working over 9.5 hrs are the ones that want the hours
