UPS Shares Tumble After An Ugly Earnings Report

[oldngray]

UPS just reported its Q2 financial results, and the numbers look a bit light.

Earnings came in at $1.21 per share, which was below analysts' estimates for $1.25.

Management cut is full year earnings guidance to $4.90 to $5.00 from a previous range of $5.05 to $5.30. This is worse than the $5.09 expected by analysts

Great, now the fuzzy, warm UPS that we all enjoyed this last quarter is going away.

Does UPS ever hit analysts' estimates? Seems like most every time I see earnings, they miss.

 

[oldngray]

UPS is full of optimists?

 

[upschuck]

Still up 7% from last year. Good job fellow UPS'ers.

I heard after this downfall there is going to be a cutback in center manager positions. They're turning it into a P/T position.
