UPS recently announced its best revenue data ever. Although it has only been three quarters in 2021, its revenue has already set a record. Next year may be better for UPS because it will increase its freight rates next year.
According to UPS CEO Carol Tomé, UPS generated more operating profit in the first nine months of 2021 than in any other year in its history . In 2021, UPS has achieved $8.9 billion in operating income, a 58% increase over the same period in 2020 , of which the operating profit in the third quarter was $2.9 billion, an increase of 22.6% over last year.
In the first three quarters ending September 30 , UPS's total revenue reached $ 23.2 billion, up 9.2% from the same period last year, exceeding Wall Street's previous expectations. Among them, sales in the United States , UPS 's largest market , jumped 7.4%.
Normally , the fourth quarter is the peak holiday shopping season , which is the busiest and most profitable time for UPS , which means that UPS's revenue will continue to increase this year!
