Former Norton Air Force Base now logistics hub with UPS, FedEx and Amazon – Stars and Stripes

UPS. FedEx. Amazon.

All three logistics giants have set root at San Bernardino International Airport in recent years, fulfilling a grand plan to transform the former Norton Air Force Base into an economic engine for the surrounding area.

A pair of joint powers authorities oversee activity at the Third Street airport: the Inland Valley Development Agency and the San Bernardino International Airport Authority.

Formed in 1990 — four years before the U.S. Defense Department closed Norton as a military base — the Inland Valley Development Agency handles non-aviation operations, including development projects pitched for the 600 acres at the airport and 14,000 acres nearby.

United Parcel Service Stock: Wider Moat Out Delivers FedEx – Seeking Alpha

Summary

  • In this follow-up report to my buy rating on competitor FDX, UPS matches up well in its value proposition, yields, fundamentals, valuation, and risk despite all-time high stock prices.
  • A paired trade would be a worthy play for buy-and-hold investors interested in owning slices of the air freight and logistics duopoly.
  • Nevertheless, if the preferred play is one or the other, the tiebreaker has UPS enjoying a wider moat of competitive advantages than FedEx’s narrower one.
