Verdict: Hit
UPS meldete am 28. Juli 2026 (vor Marktöffnung) ein bereinigtes EPS von 1,76 USD je Aktie und übertraf damit den Konsens von 1,66 USD klar um ca. 6 %. Auch der Umsatz von 22,8 Mrd. USD lag deutlich über dem erwarteten Konsens von 21,81 Mrd. USD. Zusätzlich hob UPS die Jahresprognose auf 91,2 Mrd. USD Umsatz und 7,22 USD bereinigtes EPS an. Trotz des Beats fiel die Aktie ~6 % im Vorhandel wegen hoher Restrukturierungskosten (891 Mio. USD nach Steuern) und einer schwachen Q3-Umsatzprognose.

The S&P 500 closed at 7,636.36 on 9 September 2026. Falling below 7,450 by month-end would require a 2.4% decline. Headwinds: Fed rate hike of 25bp on 16 September (CentralBank.Watch: 59% probability), August PPI above expectations (+5.4% YoY), Iran-Gulf risk premium. Stabilizing factors: hike largely priced in (Polymarket: 93% for zero 2026 cuts), Q2 earnings solid, no recession signals. Historically, a single 25bp September hike rarely causes a monthly decline above 2.5%.
