[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 2888939, member: 58386"] Your comments made me curious so I looked it up. Right now UPS is trading at 27 times earnings. Fedex is trading at 29 times earnings. That's a little higher than you want. UPS has a market cap of 93 billion compared to X at 54 billion. Thing to remember is that the traded UPS stock is a Class B stock with no voting rights that UPS floated about 20 years ago and with the proceeds primarily used to retire debt. It has a higher yield at 3.11 % than X at 0.83% but a B Class is designed to be a dividend stock but 3.11% is nothing exceptional. The thing that would concern me is that some US economic growth projections for this year and next are running around 2-2.25%. If it holds true then both companies will go on their merry old way but perhaps more bottom line focused . Keep an eye on their cap X budgets in the days ahead. [/QUOTE]
