UPS SCS Case Study

United Parcel Service Inc. UPS, -0.96% reported Thursday third-quarter net income of $1.26 billion, or $1.45 a share, compared with $1.27 billion, or $1.44 a share, in the same period a year ago.

The FactSet consensus for earnings per share was $1.45. Revenue rose 7% to $15.98 billion, beating the FactSet consensus of $15.63 billion, as an 11% rise in international package and 13% growth in supply chain and freight revenue beat expectations, while a 3.9% increase in domestic package revenue was a bit shy of forecasts.
