It's going to be a tale of two halves for the company this year. UPS (UPS +0.26%) management surprised the market with its fourth-quarter earnings and guidance last week. The most salient update was free-cash-flow (FCF) guidance for $6.5 billion in 2026, up from an adjusted figure of $5.5 billion in 2025. That will be more than enough to cover its planned $5.4 billion in dividends, which currently...
It's going to be a tale of two halves for the company this year. UPS (UPS +0.26%) management surprised the market with its fourth-quarter earnings and guidance last week. The most salient update was free-cash-flow (FCF) guidance for $6.5 billion in 2026, up from an adjusted figure of $5.5 billion in 2025. That will be more than enough to cover its planned $5.4 billion in dividends, which currently yield 6.1%. As such, the stock appears highly attractive to investors seeking passive income. Still, is it enough to make the stock a buy? UPS guidance The guidance for FCF of $6.5 billion in 2026 is significantly above the Wall Street analyst consensus of $5.3 billion going into the earnings report. To be fair, it's something CFO Brian Dykes said would happen back in October, when discussing FCF in the context of covering the dividend: "We've got a dividend of around $5.4 billion to $5.5 billion, and we expect it [free cash flow] to be above that in the very near future."

By moving away from lower-margin deliveries, such as those from Amazon, UPS aims to become a more profitable, cash-generating company. Those adjustments involve investing in automation and smart facilities to improve productivity (allowing for 93 building closures in 2025 with plans for another 24 in the first half of 2026). In addition, CEO Carol Tomé said UPS had 127 buildings automated at the end of 2025 and planned to add another 24 in 2026, resulting in 68% of U.S. volume processed through automated facilities at the end of 2026, up from 66...
