Notable Quotes 3
we have reduced confidence in UPS' ability to control burgeoning capex, with capital intensity expectations more than doubling as a % of sales in just the last 12mo- a significant feat for a business with $706 in annual sales.
UPS shares won't start working in our view until mgmt. can articulate a sound strategy to strike the right balance between price and volumes vis-à-vis Amazon, and talk more concretely about the long-term/ structural capital needs of the business as mgmt. 'leans in' to higher B2C shipments.
With a relatively benign volume and pricing environment for rails (puts and takes on mix offset by pricing power from industry structure and truckload tightening), the key driver for rail stocks, in our view, is FCF growth over-and-above book EPS growth (i.e. >100% incremental fcf conversion) and share buybacks.
