RhinoStocks	As consumer sentiment begins its uptick, UPS revenues should be a leading indicator that retail and b2b sales are creeping back up.	Love	October 19, 2009
RSaw	Cyclical recovery play, also like this more than FDX	Love	September 29, 2009

barrons3	Profit says UPS should be on your radar as an early-cycle play because it has a strong balance sheet, now. Also, “it has 20% better yield on package delivery than rival FedEx and it’s now at a price point where you can buy it.”	Love	July 15, 2009
barrons3	The one thing Corbin fears is fresh trouble in the banking system and another round of selloffs in financial shares. For now, his favorite stocks are UPS (UPS), Pfizer and Medtronic (MDT). "These companies have low price/earnings ratios and decent yields, and franchises that are unlikely to be damaged in a downturn," he says.	Love	April 25, 2009

sarah z	From a recent Mad Money show:"UPS yields north of 4% now. They've got costs under control and they've got room to grow the dividend. It might be a bumpy ride, but I like them."	Love	March 09, 2009

barrons3	Federal Express (FDX), UPS (UPS), Norfolk Southern (NSX), Union Pacific (UNP), you name it. There's such an unbelievable amount of pressure from this group, one that I still respect as a tell on things. If we had them reverse and start going higher, it would at least give me a sense that the Chinese rally and the Baltic Freight rally are going to eventually affect us.	Love	February 26, 2009
sarah z	From a recent Mad Money show:"I am astounded this one is so low. It's so well run and it yields 4%. I say it's time to buy, I'll bless it."	Love	January 30, 2009
sarah z	“With gasoline prices plummeting, I see that every major state has enacted some form of an emergency gas tax to help fill the diminishing coffers and patch up gaping holes in budgets. It may be one of those rare bits of good news stemming from the radical deflation of commodities. I am surprised that California doesn't have one, and I figure that New Jersey, one of the states with horrible finances (perhaps among the worst, although not rivaling California or Michigan), will put one in place shortly. I think we continually underestimate the impact of still lower gasoline prices on a host of industries. Ford (F) could get a windfall because it still has a big line of heavy duty gas guzzlers that are immensely popular. General Motors (GM) is a hard call because of its ownership structure, although I am sure it will pop with the GMAC deal. I'd sell it. If United Parcel Service (UPS) had any traffic, it has a huge fuel surcharge that it can slowly diminish to help the margins. YRC Worldwide (YRCW) had a great one, but I think that company is now a goner. Obviously, I have already discussed the retail benefit, but it looks like that didn't matter much. If we could get strapped states less strapped and if we could get stimulus going, we might have a chance to avert the longest slowdown we have had in 70 years. Gasoline's a good prop, so are government borrowings, so are lower mortgages. Unfortunately, unless we make every institution a bank, we are not going to get the credit we so badly need flowing again.”	Love	December 26, 2008
sarah z	From a recent Mad Money show: "This one's problematic. I think that it's inexpensive, but I don't see a big Christmas coming for them. Let's stay away for now."	Love	December 17, 2008

barrons3	7. United Parcel Service (UPS). I think this one hits because of the collapse of DHL and the fuel cost benefits. This one looks better than FedEx (FDX). Could be dividend related. Of course, there is a dramatic decline in shipments, so you are on your own as I can see this one being in a scenario similar to Best Buy (BBY), in which its version of Circuit City (DHL) goes under and then UPS issues a profit warning.	Love	November 20, 2008
Imatoolfan	Most shares...company I work for	Love	November 02, 2008
barrons3	Helm is also bullish about UPS (UPS), whose earnings could climb as oil and gasoline prices fall, helping the company offset much of the decline in shipping volume.	Love	October 18, 2008
Easton Cook	Solid company	Love	October 07, 2008
TheEminent1	Lot's of cash on hand	Love	October 01, 2008
barrons3	Oil being down is just gigantic. FedEx (FDX) and UPS (UPS) make sense. That kind of thing.	Love	September 18, 2008
barrons2	Commodity costs, specifically their decline, also helps the companies that were forced to raise prices when those costs were higher. Because the companies won’t reduce prices in tandem with that decline. That means more profits and better-than-expected earnings. Watch for reports from Heinz (HNZ), Kimberly-Clark (KMB), UPS (UPS), FedEx (FDX) and Carnival Cruise (CCL).	Love	September 04, 2008
tmcevoy	Cramer Bullish	Love	September 03, 2008
barrons2	Finally, how about this one, long UPS (UPS) short FedEx (FDX), as UPS has solved its labor problems and FDX is knee-deep in labor problems.	Love	August 28, 2008
barrons2	He reiterated his price target of $3.50 a gallon for gasoline and said that the stock of United Parcel Service (UPS) is one way to play cheaper gas.	Love	July 31, 2008
barrons2	Now I know the better plays are the users of oil--UPS (UPS), Disney (DIS), PPG Industries (PPG)--and I like all three of those.	Love	July 31, 2008
Robdogg42	If you try this one get out berfore earnings. Fuel and Gasoline prices are hurting bottom lines. Customer base continues to retract due to increasing fuel surcharges as well as increased pricing for shipments. Once the economy starts to stabilize, this will be one of the first places it will show up. This is a great company at the right time, but it is a good economic guage at other times.	Hate	July 23, 2008
sarah z	From a recent Mad Money show: "Fabulous company, can't own it. Costs are out of control ... same with Fedex(FDX). I can't make a case for UPS until they have two good quarters back to back."	Love	July 13, 2008
barrons2	Kaiser als likes (UPS). Having initially moved into the stock in May 2003 at $61 and subsequently built up a 1.7% position, he's a big believer in the company's strategy of offering end-to-end logistical support for its clients. "UPS is an outsourcing play," Kaiser explains, "which should profit from corporate efficiency improvements spreading across a variety of industries." Rival DHL has become a major client, subcontracting out a portion of its domestic deliveries to UPS. By making use of UPS' excess capacity, the deal could boost earnings 15% by 2010, Kaiser says. Trading around 68, the shares haven't moved as much as Kaiser had expected. But he sees 15% upside over the next year.	Love	June 14, 2008
