BUY
The labour agreement expires on July 31. He isn't concerned, but is concerned about the potential damage to the wider economy. We don't need this at this point in the recovery. UPS manages its balance sheet well, a better choice than FedEx.

Fedex vs. UPS (FedEx just reported a strong quarter)
Owns UPS instead, and it's good that FedEx that both are focusing on profitability. She prefers UPS for having more density in its ground business and more tied to e-commerce which will remain strong. UPS is exposed to Amazon, which some feel is a risk, but she doesn't anymore, because Amazon can't invest more in infrastructure anymore.

(A Top Pick Apr 12/22, Down 5.7%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with UPS has triggered its stop at $177. To remain disciplined, we recommend covering the position at this time. This will result in a net investment loss of 3%, when combined with the previous top pick recommendation.

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly As UPS continues to provide strong results and is priced attractively, we reiterate it as a TOP PICK. Recently released earnings beat expectations by 15% and support a stellar ROE over 95%. It pays a great dividend, that has been growing for 14 consecutive years, backed by a payout ratio under 45% of cash flow. Cash reserves continue to grow, while they buy back shares and retire debt. We continue to recommend a stop at $177, looking to achieve $236 -- upside potential over 23%. Yield 3.18% (Analysts’ price target is $236.31)

FedEx (FDX-N) or UPS (UPS-N)? Right now would be a good time to buy either of these as you have the holiday season coming up, which is usually a good time for delivery companies. Fuel is a huge component going forward, and the current correction in fuel costs will be good, so this would be an attractive time. He would probably rank this one over FedEx as he expects it would have a little more upside at this point.
