Is it worth $100 billion with UPS valued at $160 billion? Yes. That means the current $50 billion cap makes the stock undervalued. UPS generates $11 billion a year in net earnings on $23.6 billion in gross profit and $101 billion in revenue. FedEx generates a very similar amount of gross profit ($23 billion) on slightly lower revenue of $94 billion, but less of that gets pushed to the bottom line. FedEx’s net income was just $3.3 billion in the last 12 months while UPS earned over $11.5 billion. UPS will likely remain the leader, but FedEx could fix its debt problem and close ground.
