Shares of United Parcel Service (NYSE: UPS) dropped 18% after the U.S. tariff announcement in April, finishing down 13.4% for the month. UPS has lost over half its value in less than three years due to macroeconomic worries and streamlining efforts. The prospects of a trade war have clouded investor hopes for a turnaround.

Despite challenges, UPS is targeting $3.5 billion in cost reductions by 2025 and expanding into higher-margin verticals like healthcare. The company is also acquiring Andlauer Healthcare Group for $1.6 billion to enhance capabilities in Canada. With a nearly 7% dividend yield, UPS could be a good long-term investment for patient investors.
