Updated: 21 Nov 25
Shares of UPS.N rose today, crossing above the 5-day simple moving average, signaling a potential bullish reversal. This movement comes despite the recent turmoil following a tragic cargo plane crash in Kentucky that resulted in 14 fatalities, as federal investigators reported fatigue cracks in the aircraft's engine mount. While UPS shares have faced a nearly 24% decline this year, the stock's recent bounce of 13% from its 52-week low suggests a recovery may be underway, aided by a strong dividend yield. Analysts maintain a Moderate Buy consensus, projecting a 10% upside as the company shifts focus towards more profitable sectors.
Analyst Views on UPS
Wall Street analysts forecast UPS stock price to rise over the next 12 months. According to Wall Street analysts, the average 1-year price target for UPS is 107.06 USD with a low forecast of 80.00 USD and a high forecast of 126.00 USD. However, analyst price targets are subjective and often lag stock prices, so investors should focus on the objective reasons behind analyst rating changes, which better reflect the company's fundamentals.
