Parcel delivery company United Parcel Service (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UPS#NYSE">UPS</a>) could provide a gauge on shipping demand from consumers against the backdrop of tariffs and macroeconomic concerns when the company reports second-quarter financial results Tuesday <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">before market open.</a>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>UPS shares are lagging the market. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/UPS" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Check the latest price here.</a></li>
</ul>
Here are the earnings estimates, what experts are saying and key items to watch.
Earnings Estimates: Analysts expect UPS to report second-quarter revenue of $20.87 billion, down from $21.82 billion in last year's second quarter, according to data<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/register?utm_adType=bzprocontent&amp;utm_campaign=14daytrial&amp;utm_ad=0728"> from Benzinga Pro.</a>
The company beat analyst estimates for revenue in the first quarter, but has missed estimates in nine of the last 10 quarters.
Analysts expect UPS to report second-quarter earnings per share of $1.57, down from $1.79 in last year's second quarter. The company has beaten analyst estimates for earnings per share in two straight quarters and in six of the last 10 quarters overall.

What Experts Are Saying: Recent history has proven unkind to United Parcel Services when reporting quarterly financial results, as highlighted by Freedom Capital Markets Chief Global Strategist Jay Woods.
"Earnings season has not been kind to the global shipper. Shares have fallen after 10 of the last 13 quarterly reports with an average one-day loss of -3.6%," Woods said in a weekly newsletter.
Woods said that even the quarters in which UPS beat estimates saw shares often decline due to disappointing guidance.
"Growth concerns continue. Revenue and net income have declined since 2022, and EPS is still below 2020 levels. Add in profit deterioration due to tariffs, weaker small-business demand, and Amazon share loss and investors have been taking their portfolios allocations to more promising destinations."
Woods said the "one-year daily chart" for UPS is "showing signs of life" as shares could rally back to $112, the stock's 200-day moving average. The market expert cautions that UPS still needs to show that the worst is over for the stock.
"Over the long term, shares still have some work to do. Usually for turnarounds to occur it takes multiple quarters of good news and positive price action. We have one good one in the books, let's see if they can make it two this week when they report."
UPS focusing on internal efficiencies and cost reductions to boost profitability could be a winning strategy, Bank of America analyst Ken Hoexter <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst-color/25/07/46231114/ups-streamlines-operations-cuts-costs-for-higher-returns">said ahead of</a> the company's quarterly results.
The analyst maintained a Buy rating and $115 price target.
Hoexter said UPS offers exposure to ecommerce growth and trades at attractive valuation multiples. The analyst highlighted the company divesting low-margin operations and reducing overall costs.
The analyst was cautious on the phased removal of revenue from Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and a potential slow macroeconomic recovery.
Here are other recent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/UPS/analyst-ratings">analyst ratings on UPS </a>and their price targets:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Citigroup: Maintained Buy rating, raised price target from $122 to $127</li>
<li>JPMorgan: Maintained Neutral rating, lowered price target from $110 to $107</li>
<li>UBS: Maintained Buy rating, lowered price target from $128 to $124</li>
</ul>
Key Items to Watch: After missing analyst estimates for multiple quarters, UPS turned in a strong first-quarter report. Analysts and investors are looking for further momentum in the second quarter.
In <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/45065830/ups-delivers-mixed-bag-q1-supply-chain-weakness-offset-by-strong-domestic-and-international-growth">the first quarter,</a> UPS saw its domestic segment revenue increase 1.4% year-over-year and its international segment revenue rise 2.7% year-over-year, helping to offset weakness from other segments.
Cost cuts will be a big topic with the company<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45092839/ups-to-slash-20k-jobs-shut-several-facilities-amid-reduction-in-amazon-deliveries"> announcing job cuts </a>back in April and a decision to lower Amazon delivery volume.
Investors and analysts will want to see where the company's growth is going to come from without the Amazon delivery volumes.
All eyes will be on the company's guidance for the full fiscal year with two quarters completed, which will highlight what investors should expect from the company and the overall sector in the second half of the calendar year.
UPS's report comes a month after FedEx Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FDX#NYSE">FDX</a>)<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/06/46102825/fedex-stock-is-trading-lower-wednesday-whats-going-on"> reported quarterly results</a>. FedEx beat analyst estimates for revenue and earnings per share in the quarter, but its guidance disappointed, sending both FedEx and UPS shares down.
Price Action: UPS stock is down 1.4% to $102.09 on Monday versus a 52-week trading range of $90.55 to $145.01. UPS stock is down 17.6% year-to-date, trailing the -11.7% performance of its peer, FedEx, and the 8.9% gain of the S&amp;P 500.

Shares of VisionWave Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VWAV#NASDAQ">VWAV</a>) are trading sharply higher Monday after the defense technology firm announced it has secured a funding agreement with an institutional investor. Here&#8217;s what investors <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/VWAV/news">need to know</a>.
What To Know: The deal, which provides up to $55 million in fresh capital, is designed to fuel the company&#8217;s expansion and deployment of its advanced AI-powered defense systems.
The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/07/n46657169/visionwave-secures-strategic-50-million-equity-line-to-accelerate-ai-driven-defense-platform">financing package</a> includes a flexible $50 million Standby Equity Purchase Agreement, allowing VisionWave to sell common stock at its discretion over the next two years. It is complemented by a $5 million commitment in convertible notes, of which an initial $3 million tranche was funded immediately upon the agreement&#8217;s execution.
This new capital is earmarked for working capital and accelerating the rollout of its autonomous aerial, ground and maritime defense solutions. 
Per VisionWave, the agreement also ensures the funds are directed solely toward growth, with protective covenants preventing their use for settling liabilities incurred before the company&#8217;s recent business combination.
CEO Noam Kenig <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/07/n46657169/visionwave-secures-strategic-50-million-equity-line-to-accelerate-ai-driven-defense-platform">stated</a> the funding is &#8220;a validation of our business model&#8221; and will help the company &#8220;enter new markets.&#8221; Chairman Douglas Davis added that the capital provides the &#8220;fuel&#8221; to &#8220;move faster than ever toward becoming a leader in intelligent defense systems.&#8221;
Price Action: According to data from <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, VWAV shares are trading higher by 278.3% to $8.90 during Monday&#8217;s session. The stock has a 52-week high of $8.66 and a 52-week low of $2.06.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy VWAV Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in VisionWave Holdings&#8217; case, it is in the Industrials sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.

Soccer players who score an own goal (accidentally kicking the ball into their own goal, giving the other team a point) feel foolish about this egregious error.
It is made even worse when their own goal wins the match for their opponent.
Players who make this mistake frequently quickly become former soccer players.
Baseball players who consistently make errors that cost their team runs become baseball fans before too much time passes.
Quarterbacks who throw as many interceptions as they do touchdowns are looking for new jobs before long.
In most endeavors, avocations, and occupations, consistent failure usually sends the unfortunate aspirant off in search of new activities and endeavors.
Except in investing and trading. 
There, hope springs eternal. Everyone is sure they can make their fortune trading. The research clearly shows that they cannot. It also shows there's one simple secret to make options trading profitable.

The Dunning-Kruger effect is on display in grand fashion among retail options traders.
Most retail traders fail.
Most retail investors lag the market badly.
We overtrade.
We are overconfident.
We chase yesterday&#8217;s news.
Every investor or trader you talk to, though, is having a big year every year. No one on Twitter (now X) is making less than 100% a year, if you believe what they say. In spite of this, somehow retail investors routinely underperform the markets, and 75% of all day traders and 90% of all option traders lose money.
We are impatient.
Almost every retail trader I have ever known sells winners too soon and holds losers in hopes that the stock will bounce their way.
We like to be part of a tribe. Social media sites devoted to trading encourage herd following, which ultimately ends up as the financial equivalent of a pyramid scheme.
Those with FOMO who chase the story are almost always at the bottom of the pile.
A recent study reviewed in Science Direct examined trading behavior on the popular trading herd site WallStreetBets.
The professors found that &#8220;WSB attention increases overall risk levels as investors trade riskier stocks and allocate larger portfolio shares to new positions. WSB attention significantly reduces holding period returns (HPRs). Positions created when WSB attention is at its highest realize −8.5% HPRs.&#8221;
It gets worse when we turn toward options.
The options markets are a very efficient system. These markets almost effortlessly transfer money from traders with dreams of glory to market makers and options sellers.
A study published this year examining trades at major US brokerages with a moderately sophisticated trading clientele found that the average retail options trade lost about $4.
The average One Day to Expiration trade lost almost 5%.
The average short options trade made 20%.
If you are tired of losing money trying to trade using the same techniques everyone else is using, read that last sentence about 100 times.
Maybe get a tattoo or have the words sewn into a nice sampler you can hang on the wall.
Most option sellers make money.
For us as retail investors, the most important part of selling options is to make sure you really like the stock on which you are selling puts and understand trade management when you sell covered calls.
It is not an income strategy.
Selling options on minimum exchange margins without first evaluating the stocks is eventually going to end poorly.
Love the stock—sell the put to buy it cheaper.
Ready to part ways or just want to collect premium along the way? Sell the calls.
It is a total return strategy. You are using it to add to the returns of your stock portfolio.
You may recall from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/25/07/46531827/how-i-built-a-portfolio-that-outperforms-in-every-market">last week&#8217;s letter</a> that my work (and that of most serious students of the market, who all have found some version of the same) shows that deep value strategies and owning companies with strong fundamentals momentum that attract buying pressure are the two best ways to build wealth over time.
Now add options selling strategies to enhance the return, and things begin to get impressive.
I usually skip being promotional in this weekly epistle, but <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/trade-alerts-accelerator-bundle/?utm_campaign=save500&amp;utm_adType=sponsorad&amp;utm_ad=RD072925">take a look</a> at what Anne-Marie Baiynd and I are doing at Trade Alerts Accelerator at Benzinga Research.
I deploy stock strategies, and she brings options strategies that allow us to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/trade-alerts-accelerator-bundle/?utm_campaign=save500&amp;utm_adType=sponsorad&amp;utm_ad=RD072925">collect premiums and build the total return</a> on these already high-performing strategies.
Those in search of the biggest possible bang for the buck can add a little leverage and use partial margin to boost returns.
Partial margin.
Adding leverage only after significant down moves in the market gives you a favorable risk-reward proposition.
Deep value, momentum, selling premium, and smart leverage should put you into a position to earn returns that most so-called traders will never even come close to achieving.
The further out on the X-axis you go, the more the odds shift in your favor, and this strategy moves you way to the right.
Best of all, the only expiration dates are for options you sold, so time is your friend instead.
Some of you are going to insist that you are among the anointed and want to trade your way to fame and fortune.
Some of you just want some action and find stock and options trading more socially acceptable and interesting than the casino or the track.
In that case, pick a strategy and a time frame.
Stop looking for magic answers.
Stop focusing on how much you might make.
To be a profitable trader, you have to excel at risk control.
Choose momentum or reversion.
Have rules and stick to them. Be ruthless about closing trades that do not go your way.
I have seen some very interesting work done recently with five-day moving averages, opening range breakouts, and standard deviation-based reversion systems.
If you must trade, those are probably rabbit holes worth jumping into.
All in all, odds are you will be better off with deep value, momentum, and premium collecting.

The Secret To Profitable Trading That No One Wants To Hear

BofA Securities analyst Ronald J. Epstein reiterated a Buy <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/GE/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">rating</a> on GE Aerospace (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GE#NYSE">GE</a>) and raised the price target to $310 from $230, citing sustained operational momentum and upside potential in the company&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/earnings/25/07/46466924/ge-aerospace-lifts-2025-outlook-on-soaring-orders-profits-and-cash-flow" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">updated long-term outlook</a>.
Epstein views GE&#8217;s raised 2025 and 2028 targets — including double-digit revenue CAGR, $11.5 billion in operating profit, and ~$8.5 billion in free cash flow — as strong yet still conservative, suggesting further upside is possible.
Epstein identified services growth as the core driver of GE&#8217;s long-term outlook, backed by expanded shop visits, pricing power, and a growing installed base. He noted the durability of GE&#8217;s aftermarket engines — especially the CFM56 and GE90 — while highlighting that the LEAP and GEnx fleets are expected to triple and double by 2030.

He flagged GE&#8217;s Defense &amp; Propulsion Technologies unit as an overlooked growth driver, with programs like the U.S. NGAP and Europe&#8217;s GCAP fighter boosting international defense exposure and margins.
Epstein also pointed to GE&#8217;s innovation focus, citing progress on the CFM RISE engine (with over 250 tests) and investments in hypersonic test infrastructure as key to long-term value.
Despite near-term LEAP margin pressure, he projects 240bps of margin expansion by 2028, driven by mix shift toward external shop visits, repair savings and durability upgrades, setting the stage for LEAP to reach CFM56-level margins by decade&#8217;s end.
Reflecting his confidence in GE&#8217;s compounded growth story, Epstein raised adjusted EPS estimates to $5.80 for 2025 (from $5.45), $7.05 for 2026 (from $6.65), and $8.05 for 2027 (from $7.65).
The new $310 price objective is based on a 1.7x P/FCF multiple on 2026 estimates, reflecting the company&#8217;s strong aftermarket performance, IP-driven innovation, and LEAP program ramp.

Warner Bros. Discovery Appoints Fraser Woodford As CFO For Discovery Global; Warner Bros Discovery Searching For CFO For Warner Bros Post Separation

On Feb. 5, 2009, Intel was the undisputed heavyweight of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/semiconductors">the semiconductor world</a>. With a market capitalization of $79.3 billion, it towered over Nvidia, whose valuation sat at a modest $5.03 billion. That same day, Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang appeared on Charlie Rose, where he was asked a question that now feels almost prophetic.
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>NVDA stock is breaking records. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/nvda">See real-time prices here.</a></li>
</ul>
"Do you envision in your most expansive moments that Nvidia has the possibility of becoming as powerful and as huge as Intel?" Rose asked.
Huang's response was thoughtful, measured, and revealing:
"You know, I don't think in those terms necessarily. What's always top of mind for me and our company is, are we working on the most relevant things to drive the industry forward, to add value to the world. You know, you notice people talk about the competition between us and Intel today – and yet, we don't make a microprocessor. They want to make what we make, but at the moment, they don't either."
He added, "It's almost like Microsoft and Google – they don't make what each other makes, but they are competing against each other."
Huang's 2009 remarks showcased his far-reaching vision. Rather than measure Nvidia against Intel—the dominant chipmaker of the time—he emphasized relevance and innovation over rivalry. Huang dismissed direct competition, likening the dynamic to Microsoft vs. Google: different products, same battlefield. His focus on shaping the future, not chasing scale, hinted at Nvidia's pivot toward GPU computing and its eventual role at the center of the AI revolution. It wasn't about Intel—it was about transformation.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Nvidia Is 47 Times As Big As Intel Today</h2>
Fast forward to July 2025, and the landscape has flipped in ways few could have imagined. Nvidia is now the most valuable publicly traded company on Earth, with a market cap of $4.27 trillion. Intel, meanwhile, is struggling to stay afloat, its valuation hovering around $91 billion—just 15% above where it stood 16 years ago.
The reversal is staggering. Nvidia's rise has been fueled by the explosive growth of artificial intelligence. Since the launch of ChatGPT in late 2022, demand for Nvidia's GPUs—especially its H100 and Blackwell chips—has skyrocketed. These chips power everything from large language models to autonomous vehicles, and Nvidia now controls over 90% of the data center GPU market. By 2025, its revenue hit $130 billion, with $115 billion coming from its data center segment alone.
Intel, by contrast, has been caught flat-footed. It missed the mobile revolution, lagged in AI innovation, and has struggled to compete with Nvidia's dominance in high-performance computing. In July 2025, Intel announced it would cut about 25,000 jobs, abandon chip plant projects in Germany and Poland, and delay construction of its Ohio facility. CEO Lip-Bu Tan admitted the company had "invested too much, too soon—without adequate demand," and was now "making hard but necessary decisions" to streamline operations.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Huang&#8217;s Long-Term Vision</h2>
The contrast between the two companies is more than financial—it's philosophical. Huang's 2009 comments reflected a long-term vision rooted in relevance and innovation. Intel, once the gold standard of chipmaking, now finds itself playing catch-up in a world reshaped by AI.
In hindsight, Rose's question wasn't just speculative—it was a glimpse into a future where the underdog would become the architect of a new computing era. And Huang, with quiet confidence, was already laying the foundation.
Today, Nvidia isn't just bigger than Intel. It's bigger than Microsoft, Apple, and Amazon. And it all started with a company that didn't make what Intel made—but made what the future needed.

Jensen Huang Was Asked In 2009 Whether Nvidia Could Ever Be As Big As Intel—This Is What He Said

Foreign markets scare American investors, who assume these venues carry greater risk than widely held equities, bonds and funds on Wall Street stock exchanges. But one portfolio manager thinks those fears are unfounded and he is <a href="https://www.kiplinger.com/investing/international-investing-myths-busted">busting five myths</a> about international investing. In particular, his commentary for Kiplinger warns that failing to embrace global diversification may limit your portfolio's resilience and lower long-term returns.&nbsp;
Diamond Hill Portfolio Manager Krishna Mohanraj has built an impressive resume in the last quarter century. He joined the firm in 2012 after leaving a senior research associate position at Sanford C. Bernstein. He holds a science degree from University of Texas and a MBA from London Business School. Diamond Hill currently <a href="https://www.diamond-hill.com/about/">manages</a> $30.1 billion in client assets.

</ul>
Mohanraj lists home country bias as the first obstacle facing American investors, especially after years of strong market performance. Many on this side of the Atlantic believe they have sufficient exposure to foreign markets because U.S. multinationals generate billions in overseas revenue. However, international markets comprise the majority of the world's publicly traded companies, largely untouched by most American corporations.&nbsp;
They are also spread throughout large and small economic zones, rather than concentrated in a few major markets, like China or the European Union. This geographical diversity offers access to sectors and countries underrepresented in the U.S. He points out that information technology dominates our markets while international indexes offer greater exposure to financials, pharmaceuticals and mining, among other segments.
Mohanji writes for Kiplinger that American investors also shy away from international exposure due to perceived geopolitical risk. Headlines about war, political turmoil and civil strife keep U.S. wallets closed and focused on more familiar American industries. He reminds investors it makes more sense to manage risk, rather than avoid it, and notes that foreign markets include stable economies like Japan and Germany, as well as hot growth venues like India and Brazil.&nbsp;

Many U.S. investors believe overseas markets lack transparency and shareholder protections. Mohanraj busts this myth, noting many offer "legal frameworks and reporting requirements that rival or even match" U.S. agencies like the Securities and Exchange Commission. He adds that U.K., Australia and Western societies with shared legal heritage "provide a robust foundation for investor protection."&nbsp;
Even so, Mohanraj agrees that active surveillance is needed in foreign venues with poor corporate governance, weak disclosure requirements and/or poor capital allocation.
Currency fluctuations also unnerve American investors, who worry that volatility will limit returns, but he insists that currency movements tend to balance out across regions and over time. And, like Wall Street counterparts, Mohanraj pounds the <a href="https://business.columbia.edu/heilbrunn/about/valueinvestinghistory">Graham and Dodd</a> table, telling investors to focus on fundamentals, looking for companies with competitive advantages, sound business models and growth potential.

He also warns against currency hedging because it can be expensive and even backfire, diluting diversification benefits that come from international investing.
Finally, Mohanraj explains on Kiplinger that many investors worry about illiquidity, dissuading them from international exposure. He admits international stocks may be less actively traded than U.S. stocks but insists it's OK because global exchanges include thousands of companies, many of which are "large, well-capitalized and trade actively in their home markets."&nbsp;
As with other myths about foreign investing, Mohanraj expounds the virtues of active management in overcoming perceived obstacles, looking for opportunities with strong fundamentals and solid trading volume. This requires discipline, unlike U.S. passive investing, where many workers allocate 401(k) investments and walk away, often for years or decades.

Shares of advanced nuclear technology firm Oklo Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OKLO#NYSE">OKLO</a>) are trading lower Monday morning, signaling a pause after a rally last week that saw the stock hit a new 52-week high. Here&#8217;s what investors <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46611757/oklo-stock-hit-a-new-52-week-high-today-whats-driving-the-action">need to know</a>.
What To Know: The investor enthusiasm was sparked by last Wednesday&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46574317/whats-going-on-with-oklo-stock-2">announcement</a> of a strategic alliance with Liberty Energy Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LBRT#NYSE">LBRT</a>). The partnership is designed to deliver integrated, turnkey power solutions for large-scale customers with high energy demands, such as data centers. 
The collaboration will follow a two-phase approach, initially using Liberty&#8217;s Forte natural gas systems to meet immediate power needs. The long-term plan involves transitioning these clients to Oklo&#8217;s zero-carbon Aurora nuclear powerhouses for continuous baseload energy.
Jacob DeWitte, co-founder and CEO of Oklo, stated the collaboration gives &#8220;large-scale power users a turnkey alternative that integrates generation, backup, grid interaction, and optimization, all through a single provider.&#8221;
The news compounded other recent positive developments, including a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46574317/whats-going-on-with-oklo-stock-2">collaboration</a> with power solutions firm Vertiv and a significant price target increase from a Citigroup analyst, who more than doubled the target from $30 to $68 while maintaining a Neutral rating.
Price Action: According to data from <a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/register174">Benzinga Pro</a>, OKLO shares are trading lower by 3.58% to $72.82 Monday morning. The stock has a 52-week high of $77.54 and a 52-week low of $5.35.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Buy OKLO Stock</h2>
Besides going to a brokerage platform to purchase a share &#8211; or fractional share &#8211; of stock, you can also gain access to shares either by buying an exchange traded fund (ETF) that holds the stock itself, or by allocating yourself to a strategy in your 401(k) that would seek to acquire shares in a mutual fund or other instrument. 
For example, in Oklo&#8217;s case, it is in the Utilities sector. An ETF will likely hold shares in many liquid and large companies that help track that sector, allowing an investor to gain exposure to the trends within that segment.
