Buy UPS for Value/Durable Shipping Exposure

+2.58%current return

"I look at a name like UPS right now, which trades at 12 times earnings, pays a dividend. It's a company that I am certain is going to be around in 20 years. Shipping is not going away. UPS and FedEx basically have a duopoly right now. So I would much prefer to look at a name like that than to speculate at 50 times sales on NVIDIA or whatever."

The speaker explicitly favors buying UPS due to its low valuation (12x earnings) and dividends, arguing that its durable shipping business provides long‐term value and stability relative to overvalued tech names. This acts as a defensive, long-term portfolio holding in a sector with structural demand.

UPS Options Trade on Ex-Dividend Rally Setup

-1.13%current return

"UPS, our little buddy UPS here... Today, a little bit of a drop, but very explainable because today is ex-dividend date. So we are entitled to another dividend of $1.64. With this dividend, my break even will come down to $115. I'll take this."

The speaker describes an options trade setup for UPS. The stock is trading lower on the ex-dividend date, which provides a dividend of $1.64 that effectively lowers the break-even price to $115. The plan is to wait for a rebound in UPS prices and then sell calls to capture further premium, making it a tactical trade for options traders.
