[QUOTE="beentheredonethat, post: 968806, member: 4886"] You aren't correct on net profit. Items that you mentioned like dividends and share buybacks is what the company does with the profit. As well as reinvesting in infrastructure such as Worldport expansion, or buying TNT. If UPS sees a smaller profit margin that is recurring, then UPS won't have the money to reinvest in itself. We won't be able to buy companies like TNT, we won't be able to invest in all the Health care companies we have bought. We won't be able to have expanded worldport. Now, many will think, big deal, we don't need TNT, we don't need the healthcare companies, we don't need another DIAD. For you more seasoned drivers, how do you think the business would be like today if we never decided to become an airline and invests billions into our Air division? What would UPS be like today, if we didn't invest billions into technology and we decided to keep you all on paper? Because UPS had a decent amount of profit we had the money to invest so that we could keep existing volume and gain more profitable volume. Similarly, if we didn't invest in Europe and Asia, we wouldn't have the International inbound and export volume. So if we have very low profit margins, it won't impact us immediately, we will reduce our investments in the future. But, over a period of time this will seriously hurt the company. Also, by reducing profits, it probably will cause the stock price to decline. (For those of you who own stock this will hurt you financially).
