UPS: Blue Chip Dividend Poised For More Growth - Seeking Alpha

Summary

• UPS has been in operation for more than 100 years. It currently offers a 3% dividend, which places it on our list of blue chip stocks.
• Concerns about Amazon building its own fleet are overblown. UPS still has multiple growth drivers for the future, including business-to-consumer, and international growth.
• With a 3% dividend yield and 10% dividend growth potential each year, UPS offers a strong mix of current yield and dividend growth.

it's a decent stock but i'd still never buy a bunch instead of my diversified index funds

Nice dividend, but earnings are low for the valuation. I'm in at 71$ per share and reinvest all dividends. But won't buy in at current crazy prices unless either UPS increases earnings drastically or they bring back the old DESPP with 10% off best price in quarter (something like that, can't remember that far back). The current 5% DESPP SUCKS.

hey bear in mind that DRIP is at market price

if you have the discipline you could just take the dividends and DESPP them back in

I know. I've thought a lot about it. But i only have ~55 shares. So my dividend check's aren't enough that I care to bother. DRIPP is just easy and lowers my cost basis.

If I were searching under couch cushions for money to max my roth and traditional ira (backdoor roth) then I would utilize those dividends better.
