UPS beats Q3 2026 estimates and lifts full‑year revenue and profit outlook

United Parcel Service reported third‑quarter 2026 adjusted earnings of $1.69 per share on revenue of $22.9 billion, surpassing analyst forecasts. The company raised its full‑year 2026 guidance to $92.6 billion in revenue and $7.28 per share in adjusted earnings. CEO Carol Tomé said the firm will handle slightly lower holiday volume but expects domestic revenue to grow around three percent and international revenue to climb about seven percent.

The higher guidance signals stronger profitability and may support a higher valuation for UPS shares, as noted by the company’s outlook. Investors will watch whether the raised targets are met during the peak holiday season.
