Citing weak consumer sentiment, tariff impacts, and soft demand, UPS withheld full-year guidance and announced $3.5 billion in 2025 cost cuts, including 20,000 layoffs, moves that, along with the earnings miss, triggered a 10.6% drop in its stock. For the current year ending in December, analysts expect UPS' EPS to decline 15.4% year over year to $6.53. Moreover, the company has surpassed analysts' consensus estimates in three of the past four quarters, while only missing on one occasion.

On July 31, Citigroup Inc. (C) analyst Ariel Rosa maintained a 'Buy' rating on UPS but cut the price target by 10.24%, from $127 to $114. UPS' mean price target of $106.24 indicates a premium of 20.5% from the current market prices. Its Street-high target of $155 suggests a robust 75.8% upside potential from current price levels.
