UPS slumps as mutedUPS slumps on muted 2024 sales outlook; plans big job cuts2024 sales outlook offsets mixed Q4 earnings

Updated at 8:51 AM EST United Parcel Service (UPS) - Get Free Report posted modestly better-than-expected fourth-quarter earnings Tuesday, but weaker overall revenue and a muted outlook sent the package-delivery stalwart's shares sharply lower in early trading. The world's biggest package delivery group also said it would likely cut 12,000 jobs from its 500,000- strong workforce this year as it looks to reduce overall costs by around $1 billion. UPS said adjusted earnings for the three months ended in December were pegged at $2.47 a share, down 32% from the same period in 2022 but just ahead of the Wall Street consensus forecast of $2.46 a share. Group revenues, the company said, fell 8% to $24.9 billion, just shy of analysts' estimates of a $25.45 billion tally.Related: Analysis: Economic soft landing? How about no landing at all Domestic-segment revenue fell 7.3% to $16.92 billion, although revenue per piece, a key industry metric, rose 0.5% to $13.11. International revenue, meanwhile, were down 7% to $4.61 billion while supply-chain-solutions sales fell 11.4% to $3.4 billion. For the coming year, UPS sees revenue in the region of $91.3 billion to $92.3 billion, a 3.9% increase from the 2023 total of $90.96 billion but shy of the LSEG forecast of around $95.6 billion. “I want to thank UPSers for providing the best on-time performance of any carrier for the sixth year in a row,” said CEO Carol Tomé. Last year "was a unique and difficult year and through it all we remained focused on controlling what we could control, stayed on strategy and strengthened our foundation for future growth.” UPS shares were marked 5.7% lower in pre-market trading immediately following the earnings release to indicate an opening bell price of $149.00 each.

Robert Nickelsberg/Getty Images UPS ended its labor dispute with the Teamsters in late August after the union voted to to ratify a new five-year $30 billion contract with the world's biggest package-delivery group. Under terms of the new agreement part-time workers will earn $21 an hour, a 35.5% increase from prior levels, while certain drivers will earn as much as $49 an hour, with maximum wages of $175,000 a year, by the end of the five-year term. “This contract will improve the lives of hundreds of thousands of workers,” Teamsters President Sean O’Brien said in a statement. “Teamsters have set a new standard and raised the bar for pay, benefits, and working conditions in the package-delivery industry.”Related: Veteran fund manager picks favorite stocks for 2024

*GM surges as upbeat 2024 profit outlook follows solid Q4 earnings*

Updated at 8:47 AM EST General Motors (GM) - Get Free Report posted better-than-expected fourth-quarter earnings Tuesday, as well as an upbeat 2024 profit forecast tied to what the carmaker described as a "resilient" U.S. economy. GM has been working to cut costs and improve efficiencies since the summer. It accelerated those plans after settling its dispute with the United Auto Workers union in late October and agreeing to boost salaried workers' pay by around 25% over the next five years.Related: Tesla tumbles as Musk's 'train wreck' call fails to gloss over profit slump The overall cost increase over that period, GM said, will be around $9.3 billion. The carmaker also noted that as part of that cost-cutting drive, it would not advertise during the 2024 Super Bowl, marking its first absence from the world's biggest annual sporting event since 2019. For the three months ended in December, GM said adjusted earnings came in at $1.24 a share, down 41.5% from the same period in 2022 but firmly ahead of the Wall Street consensus of forecast of $1.16 per share. Group revenue was $42.98 billion, GM said, a 0.3% dip from a year earlier. But the figure also beat analysts' consensus forecast of a $38.97 billion tally.CEO Barra: 'GM well-positioned' for 2024 Looking into the coming year, GM sees earnings in the region of $8.50 to $9.50 a share, firmly ahead of the LSEG forecast of $7.87, with pre-tax profit of between $12 billion and $14 billion. GM noted, however, that around $1.45 of its 2024 forecast was due to a lower share count tied to the $10 billion buyback it unveiled last year. GM also said its EV unit would see volume growth of around 10%, up from around 7% in 2023, and expects the division to turn profitable by the second half of this year. "As we begin 2024, I believe GM is well positioned for a year of strong financial performance that will build on everything we accomplished — and learned — in 2023," CEO Mary Barra told investors in her regular letter to shareholders.

"In our EV business, we expect our U.S. portfolio will become variable profit positive in the second half of the year based on our current expectations for EV demand and production growth, strong interest in our vehicles, lower commodity prices and other factors," Barra noted. GM shares were marked 7.6% higher in premarket trading to indicate an opening bell price of $38.07 each, a move that could nudge the stock into positive territory for the year. "This was an important quarter to help regain Street confidence that has been shaken the last few quarters with the EV vision in flux and the Cruise black eye over the past few months," said Wedbush analyst Dan Ives, who carries an 'outperform' rating with a $40 price target on GM stock. "With Barra & Co. in the midst of a massive EV transformation, this was a key quarter and outlook for the Street to gauge GM’s resilience as it appears the profit margins and growth targets are still very much on track despite this murky backdrop," he added.Related: Veteran fund manager picks favorite stocks for 2024
