Top takeaways: 1. Domestic/Intl B2B volumes up 2. Sitting on a lot of cash - acquisition? share buybacks? 🤷‍♀️ 3. YoY Ground ADV down - difficult comps. APAC export volumes also down for same reason. Q3 - expect the same. Q4 some increase. 4. Ocean FF "more than doubled profits".
UPS earnings are out - investors.ups.com/news-event… Total Q2 revenue up 14.5% Total operating profit up 47.3%, adjusted operating profit up 40.8% Record Q2 financial results. Again.
