Is a Beat Likely for UPS in Q3 Earnings on Delivery Demand?
Read MoreHide Full Article
United Parcel Service (UPS - Free Report) is scheduled to report third-quarter 2021 earnings on Oct 26, before market open.
The company has an impressive earnings surprise history, having outperformed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the preceding four quarters, the average beat being 31.5%.
Let’s see how things are shaping up for UPS this earnings season.
Factors to Note
UPS’ third-quarter performance is expected to have been buoyed by high package delivery demand. Robust improvement in all products is likely to have driven revenues at the U.S. Domestic Package segment. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for U.S. Domestic Package revenues indicates a 6.5% increase from the year-ago reported number.
Strong demand in Europe is anticipated to have boosted International Package segment revenues. The consensus mark for International Package revenues hints at a 16.2% rise from the third-quarter 2020 reported figure.
However, the Supply Chain Solutions segment might have put up a weak show in the soon-to-be-reported quarter due to the sale of UPS Freight division. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues at the Supply Chain Solutions segment implies a 5.3% decline from the year-ago reported number.
Rising costs across all segments are expected to have pushed up operating expenses in the to-be-reported quarter. This, in turn, might have hurt the bottom line.
