UPS just pulled off a classic 'good news, bad news' earnings report—and analysts aren't sure whether to applaud or facepalm.
Revenue rockets, profits crater
The shipping giant's top line soared past expectations, proving demand isn't the issue. But somewhere between those bulging packages and the bottom line, profits got lost in transit. Maybe those union contracts bit harder than management let on.
Wall Street's math problem
Another quarter where the spreadsheet jockeys missed the mark. Either UPS is playing 4D chess with cost structures, or someone's EPS models need a serious recalibration. Probably both.
Memo to logistics investors: next time maybe hedge with some crypto exposure—at least blockchain doesn't charge fuel surcharges.
