Did UPS Beat Earnings? Q4 2025 Results

United Parcel Service closed out Q4 2025 with a stronger-than-expected earnings performance, posting adjusted diluted EPS of $2.38 against a consensus estimate of $2.20, an 8.18% beat, even as the company's deliberate strategic retreat from its large… Read more United Parcel Service closed out Q4 2025 with a stronger-than-expected earnings performance, posting adjusted diluted EPS of $2.38 against a consensus estimate of $2.20, an 8.18% beat, even as the company's deliberate strategic retreat from its largest customer continued to weigh on the top line. Consolidated revenue of $24.48 billion edged 1.79% above analyst expectations but still marked a 3.0% decline from the year-ago period, with U.S. Domestic Package volume losses tied to the ongoing Amazon volume reduction more than offsetting an 8.3% gain in revenue per piece. The quarter was also shaped by the complete retirement of UPS's MD-11 aircraft fleet, which triggered a $182 million pre-tax impairment charge and contributed to GAAP diluted EPS of $2.10. Cost discipline remained central to the story, as the company's Network Reconfiguration and Efficiency Reimagined programs, which included cutting nearly 48,000 positions, delivered roughly $3.50 billion in savings for the full year. Looking ahead, UPS guided for 2026 revenue of approximately $89.70 billion, with CEO Carol Tomé calling the year an inflection point as the Amazon glide-down concludes.
