[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 4585848, member: 1"] [URL='https://www.barrons.com/articles/why-the-uspss-problems-are-good-newsfor-ups-and-fedex-51597665711'][B]The Postal Service’s Problems Are Good News—for UPS and FedEx - Barron's[/B][/URL] The U.S. Postal Service—an organization older than the country—is getting more press than it wants as the fight over mail-in ballots and the organization’s funding heats up. The post office is a secret giant. If it were publicly traded it would be worth, very roughly, $50 billion, making it the third largest non-rail logistics company by value in America. It generates about $71 billion in annual sales in 2019, just short of [URL='https://www.barrons.com/quote/stock/UPS']UPS[/URL]’s $76 billion in sales and a touch higher than [URL='https://www.barrons.com/quote/stock/FDX']FedEx[/URL]’s $69 billion. The USPS has a funding problem, however. Even though the parcel business is booming, the marketing mail business is being badly hurt by the downturn. If the Postal Service were a publicly traded company, it would simply exit the mail business. It can’t, for obvious reasons. [/QUOTE]
