The company has a market cap of $100.1 billion and operates through two segments, U.S. Domestic Package and International Package. UPS is expected to release its Q2 2026 earnings on Tuesday, July 28, before the market opens.

For fiscal 2026, analysts project the company’s EPS to be $7.10, down marginally from $7.16 in fiscal 2025. Moreover, its EPS is expected to rise by roughly 11.1% year over year (YoY) to $7.89 in fiscal 2027.
UPS stock has grown 18.3% over the past 52 weeks, lagging behind the S&P 500 Index’s ($SPX) 18.4% rise but outperforming the State Street Industrial Select Sector SPDR ETF’s (XLI) 18.2% rise during the same time frame.
