UPS said on Tuesday that the sluggish U.S. economy will continue to impact its results, but it will grow earnings by raising prices and improving volume overseas.
In a conference call with analysts, CEO Scott Davis said the global economy is still recovering at an uneven pace, with strength in China and Europe outpacing other areas. And while fuel prices have come down and production issues in Japan appear to be clearing up, high unemployment and weak consumer confidence continue, and U.S. debt issues add to the uncertainty.
Talk of ongoing weakness in UPS' core domestic market unnerved investors. Shares fell $3.57, or 4.8 percent, to $70.45 in midday trading after losing as much as 6 percent earlier in the session.
Still, the world's largest package delivery company maintained its outlook for the year. It expects adjusted earnings of $4.15 to $4.40 per share, implying growth of 17 to 24 percent from 2010. The upper end is above Wall Street's expectations. Analysts, on average, predict earnings of $4.34 per share.
In the second-quarter, UPS earned $1.06 billion or $1.07 per share, compared with year-ago earnings of $845 million, or 84 cents per share.
