UPS second quarter earnings preview - Blogging Stocks
United Parcel Service Inc. (NYSE:
UPS) lowered its Q2 guidance just under a month ago amid worries that high increases in fuel costs would shave a bit off its earnings, which is coming up this Monday. While the company is still expected to post an EPS figure of $0.82 for its second quarter, this would be an 18% drop from the year-ago period. Its stock has recently hit a 52-week low, but then again, a recent analyst upgrade has the shares rallying a bit to offset that low.
