Plus, UPS pays a strong dividend that yields 3.3%, or $1.52 per share per quarter. That's better than the dividend yield of 2.05% offered by archrival Federal Express (NYSE: FDX ), and that's after FedEx hiked its dividend by more than 50%. UPS also handily beat analyst expectations with its first quarter (Q1) earnings, with e-commerce shipments driving the company to earnings per share ( EPS ) of $3.05 compared to $2.88 expected on Wall Street. UPS also reaffirmed its full-year revenue forecast of $102 billion during its Q1 earnings call.
