We continue to believe that while domestic express volumes may be close to a bottom, ground volumes, (international express shipments) and especially yields are several quarters away from bottoming. |
We don't anticipate any impact on the stock. While Kelly has been both an important and strong leader as well as a terrific man, UPS is a large company with great management depth run by committee. |
We expect the company to continue to pick up momentum through the fourth quarter and 2003 with the Teamster contract further behind them and as the economy improves, ... We expect consensus EPS for 2003 to come down toward our $2.46. |

We expect the stock to rally on the unexpected fuel surcharge announcement, ... Back of the envelope fuel surcharge could equate to 1 to 2 cents upside in the third quarter, 4 to 5 cents a share upside for the fourth quarter and 15 to 20 cents upside during 2001 if it were to remain in effect. |

We generally see exposure of less than 10 percent of earnings if a strike lasted an entire quarter, which we believe is highly unlikely. |
We have noted in the past that our third-quarter earnings per share estimate of 47 cents (versus First Call consensus of 57 cents) would probably be too low if UPS settled early and a second round of freight diversion did not occur, ... As a result of last night's announcement, we will likely be raising our third-quarter EPS estimate in the next few days, once we get better visibility about some details of the contract. |

We've never seen a beast like UPS, ... It's best in class, six times bigger than its next largest competitor. They set pricing. They have best returns in the integrated (freight transportation) sector. |
