- Raymond James analyst Patrick Tyler Brown lowered the price target for United Parcel Service, Inc. (NYSE:UPS) to $225 (23% upside) from $250 while maintaining a Strong Buy rating on the shares.
- The analyst notes that the sharp decline in truck spot rates has continued to dominate headlines — as per data, it is estimated that current truck spot rates per mile have fallen all the way back to “peak” 2014 levels.

- Price Action: UPS shares are trading higher by 2.30% at $182.38 on the last check Friday.
