Gekko Brief

AI summaryNov 4 close

UPS shares have climbed since the company's Q3 2026 report on 27 October, with consolidated revenue of $22.9 billion, up 6.7% year-over-year, and operating profit of $2.1 billion. U.S. Domestic operating profit grew over 14% with margin expansion, and International returned to year-over-year profit growth. Alongside the results, UPS declared a quarterly dividend of $1.64 per share, a level held for seven straight quarters, which several commentaries have tied to questions about free cash flow coverage of the payout. Separate coverage noted TFI International's struggles with the former UPS freight unit it acquired five years ago.

UPS closed at $114.31, up 4.7%, sitting above both its 50-day average of $99.67 and 200-day average of $104.64. The GekkoIndex reads 41.3, placing the stock in the Distribution zone. Price remains 11.5% below Gekko Fair Value of $129.11.

The next earnings date falls on 26 January 2027, 82 days away, outside a typical 20-trading-day holding window. Over the last 90 days, Congress recorded 2 buys and 0 sells. Seasonality from this point in the calendar has averaged a 3.3% gain over the next 20 trading days across 5 years, rising in 3 of them. Analyst views are split, with 8 buy, 7 hold and 2 sell ratings among 17 firms, and a consensus target of $115.42. The gap to Gekko Fair Value bears watching alongside ongoing dividend-coverage discussion in the headlines.
