United Parcel Service (UPS): Amazon Volume Cut From 13% To 9% Is The Real Portfolio Signal!
United Parcel Service, Inc. delivered its first-quarter 2026 financial results amid a challenging external environment characterized by volatile global markets and rising fuel costs. The company’s consolidated revenue reached $21.2 billion, with an operating profit of $1.3 billion and an operating margin of 6.2%. Revenue growth was supported by improvements in revenue quality and product mix, notably in the U.S. and International segments, with supply chain solutions showing significant operating profit gains. A key strategic focus remained the deliberate reduction of lower-margin Amazon volume, with the company trimming approximately 500,000 pieces per day and closing 23 facilities in the quarter as part of a broader network reconfiguration. This initiative is expected to be completed by mid-2026, with the back half anticipated to mark an inflection point toward a more profitable U.S. small package business. Average daily volume declined year over year—8% in U.S.
