UBS cuts UPS forecast and keeps target for UPS stock
Published on 10/07/2026 at 15:37 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
UPS stock (ISIN US9113121068) was trading at EUR 83.13 at Lang & Schwarz on October 7, 2026 at 3:32 p.m. CEST, up 0.46 percent versus the prior close of EUR 82.75. Stock-World reports that UBS cut its third-quarter earnings per share forecast from USD 1.67 to USD 1.63 while keeping its USD 124 price target.
UBS keeps its target unchanged
The analyst revision lowers the near-term earnings assumption but leaves the valuation anchor intact. For investors, that combination points to a narrower earnings cushion ahead of the holiday shipping season rather than a change in UBS's overall stance.
The next test is the third-quarter report. Stock-World says UPS is expected to present the results on October 27, 2026, giving the market a concrete date for checking the lower earnings forecast.
Revenue growth meets margin pressure
In the second quarter of 2026, UPS generated consolidated revenue of USD 22.8 billion, up 7.6 percent from the same quarter of 2025. Consolidated operating profit reached USD 2.1 billion, an increase of 12 percent, while the operating margin was 9.2 percent, up 0.40 percentage points year over year.
According to the Yahoo Finance transcript of the July 28, 2026 earnings call, UPS raised its full-year 2026 outlook to USD 91.2 billion of consolidated revenue, USD 8.65 billion of consolidated operating profit and USD 7.22 of diluted earnings per share. The second-quarter figures therefore combine stronger revenue with a business mix that still requires close margin control.
