Consider tracking the economic recovery with UPS

Filed under: United Parcel'B' (UPS), Stocks to Buy  United Parcel Service isn't a 'back up the truck' play, but it is a suitable position for investors who can tolerate moderate risk. Here's why:
One could make a strong case that United Parcel Service, Inc. (NYSE: UPS) deserves to trade at the low end of it valuation, at a p/e of 10 or 12, instead of the current 18, given weak demand, and a likely continued drop in package delivery volume in Q2 and Q3. But the view from here argues institutional investors aren't likely to take that stance.<><>Continue reading <>Consider tracking the economic recove...

less e-commerce activities drive this company low. also, there are lots of damages from UPS shipping although customers are getting full refund. 'free shipping' offer from companies will trigger them to re-re-negotiate the price rate with UPS. with DHL going under, there may be some opportunities, but the rate of UPS shipping is already too high. hybrid vehicles will require UPS substantial amount of capital to invest + get rid of current vehicles at salvage level.

Fed Ex's warning not only sent its own shares down, but has implications for UPS and retail, and will have a positive impact on rails, Guy Adami said. Najarian noted FDX's warning is consistent with the rising price of oil, and a decline in oil may be good for FDX. Macke says UPS might be a buying opportunity.
