[QUOTE="Retired 2016, post: 1057483, member: 4579"] As investor in a lot of companies and at one time UPS here are some figures I look for. Ups over the last five years has had 10 dollars of profits for every 100 dollars of revenue, that is pretaxed. The last two years that has increase in eleven percent. From that profit they pay out 54% in dividends for their shareholders who over the last two years have earned a little over 3% on their money. The remainder of the profit is used to increase cash margins, pay taxes, and to grow the business and buy things like airplanes, trucks and building. I hope to buy the company someday again when it gets in the low sixties. Right now it is a little to rich for me. The other concern long term for investors is the large amount of debt the company carries. At low interest rates it does not have a lot impact on earnings but once inflation kicks in it will change the landscape. [/QUOTE]
