Wall Street expects a year-over-year increase in earnings on higher revenues when United Parcel Service (UPS) reports results for the quarter ended December 2021. While this widely-known consensus outlook is important in gauging the company’s earnings picture, a powerful factor that could impact its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates.
The stock might move higher if these key numbers top expectations in the upcoming earnings report, which is expected to be released on February 1. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.

“It really felt like you were in Silicon Valley,” Warren said. “Those creative spaces drive innovation.”

After taking the time to congratulate a recent customer on her newborn son, the universe rewarded Dallen Harrell – in the form of a promotion.
It all started when Dallen made a delivery near Jessica’s family home, where she had put out an ‘It’s a Boy’ stork lawn sign after her son’s birth.
Later that month Dallen returned to Jessica’s house and, remembering the stork, left a sweet message on her doorbell camera.
“If this is the ‘It’s a Boy’ house… I hope all is going well with your newborn,” Dallen said, before wishing the family a happy holidays.
