It should surprise absolutely nobody that our stock price dropped as the COVID crack high of revenue and volume started to wane, as obviously growth without fundamentals support isn't sustainable (look at Spirit). Arguably "Better and Bolder" is a counter to FDX's current network and organizational transformation (or whatever buzzword they are calling it).
Making $1.3B in Q3 is good news, no matter how it is sliced.
Agree. This was a decent Q3.
However, UPS is a terrible "investment" for medium to long term investors. Short term appears to be good at the moment.
