Price vs Fair Value (5 years)
White line = price, green steps = our fair value per fiscal year, dashed = 300-day average. As of Aug 31, 2026.
How to read this chart
60‑month range $78.73 – $187.08 · fair‑value band $57.36 – $164.93 · the $103.50 price screens above the $103.34 fair value. Green steps = our fair value per fiscal year (point-in-time, no hindsight). 1 fiscal year is left out: there the valuation rested on only a fraction of the usual models. Dashed = 300-day average. As of Aug 31, 2026.
Analysis
United Parcel Service Inc (UPS) currently trades at $103.50, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $103.34, implying the stock looks roughly 0.2% fairly valued today. The Quality Score stands at 62/100 (solid quality), in the Industrials sector. Bull case: the Multiples group reads highest at a median of $126.88 per share, and 12 of the 23 models we run sit above the $103.50 price. Bear case: the Asset-Based group reads lowest at $14.56, and 11 of the 23 models stay below the price. Evidence for this calculation is high.
Over the trailing twelve months, United Parcel Service Inc generated revenue of $88.3B at a net margin of 5.9%. Revenue declined 1.6% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 33.4%. Net debt stands at $26.4B. Fundamentals as of Aug 31, 2026
Our scenario range runs from $57.36 (bear case) to $164.93 (bull case); at $103.50, the current price sits within that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 13% below its 52-week high and 32% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Industrials peers we cover trades at −5% fair-value upside, at 0%, UPS screens cheaper than that median.
Fair Value models
Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted, family-balanced blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small. Every input is real reported data, nothing guessed.
All 23 models by family
Widest divergence: Multiples ($126.88) versus Asset-Based ($14.56). Highest evidence: FCF DCF (79).

Quality Score breakdown
Of which business quality 59 · Market factors (momentum, volatility) 57
Non-valuation factor families (profitability, growth, cashflow, financial strength, momentum …), each academically grounded. Valuation itself sits in the Fair Value and is deliberately excluded here to avoid double-counting.
All values are scores from 0 to 100 (100 = best against fixed, research-based bands), not percentages. The three market factors (momentum, 52-week proximity, low volatility) are displayed but carry zero weight in the headline number: market sentiment is not a business property.
