With the 2025 holiday season here, keep an eye on shipping stocks like UPS (UPS).

As we’ve seen in most holiday seasons, the stock tends to push higher, as millions of us ship gifts all over the world. We expect to see more of the same this year with UPS, especially as it begins to pivot from $120 support. Last trading at $137.54, we’d like to see it retest $150 as we get deeper into the holiday season.

Plus, while you wait for further upside, you can also collect its $1.64 per share quarterly dividend, which will be paid on December 5 to shareholders of record as of November 18.  Also, earnings haven’t been too shabby. UPS EPS of $1.76 beat by 14 cents. Revenue of $22.2 billion, up 5.4% year over year, beat by $70 million.

And, as noted by CEO Carol Tome, “After a challenging 18-month period, our company returned to revenue and profit growth,” said Carol Tomé, UPS chief executive officer. “Peak season is nearly upon us, and we are ready to deliver another successful holiday season and continue the progress we demonstrated in the third quarter.”

Sincerely,

Ian Cooper
