what happened

United Parcel Service (UPS) shares are on track for their best week since May, according to Stocktwits. The delivery company beat third-quarter earnings expectations and raised its guidance. The stock has risen about 4.9% this week and could post its fourth consecutive weekly gain.

CEO Carol Tomé expects strong holiday demand, with average daily package volume rising roughly 25% from the third quarter to the fourth. UPS is also cutting less profitable deliveries, including reducing Amazon shipments by about half, and pushing further into premium services.

Bank of America and Goldman Sachs raised their price targets on the stock, and retail sentiment on Stocktwits shifted from bearish to bullish.

why it matters

The rally rests on a combination of earnings above forecasts, a higher outlook and expectations for a solid holiday season. Trimming low-margin volume signals a focus on better returns rather than just shrinking revenue, which investors have welcomed.
