Brothers Norman M. Jr Sell
Chief Legal & Compliance Off
25,014 shares
$2,655,195
@ $106.15
Significance 6/10

UPS Chief Legal Officer sells 25,014 shares for $2,655,195.12, exiting entire position at $106.15 blended average

Norman M. Brothers Jr., Chief Legal & Compliance Officer, completed three separate sales totaling 25,014 shares for $2,655,195.12 on 2026-01-28, eliminating his entire shareholding at a blended average price of $106.15. The stock currently trades at $103.70, down 23.9% from its 52-week high of $136.26, and is up 4.0% over the past 30 days. His cross-ticker track record shows a 100.00% well-timed rate on sells, with his one prior UPS sale on 2024-11-25 proving well-timed (30d return -8.9%, 90d return -16.0%), suggesting a pattern of selling ahead of declines. The complete liquidation of a material position by a senior compliance officer warrants investor attention as a notable change in insider commitment.

Shi Christiana Smith Buy
500 shares
$44,084
@ $88.17
Significance 4/10

Director Shi Christiana Smith purchased 500 UPS shares at $88.17 on 2025-08-22, establishing initial position; stock down 36.8% from 52-week high.

Shi Christiana Smith, a director at United Parcel Service, initiated a 500-share position at $88.17, currently valued at $87.46 amid significant recent price weakness. The stock has declined 36.8% from its 52-week high of $138.35 and is down 15.6% over the past 30 days, though UPS maintains solid fundamentals with $21.2B in quarterly revenue and a P/E of 10.89. This transaction represents a new holding for Smith rather than an accumulation into an existing position, occurring during a period of material downward price movement.

TOME CAROL B Buy
Chief Executive Officer
11,682 shares
$1,000,816
@ $85.67
Significance 6/10

UPS CEO TOME CAROL B purchases 11,682 shares for $1.0M at $85.67 amid 38.9% decline from 52-week high

CEO TOME CAROL B purchased 11,682 shares at $85.67 on 2025-08-01, increasing her holdings by 89.6% from 13,036 to 24,718 shares. The transaction occurs at a price point 38.9% below the 52-week high of $138.35, and the stock is down 19.9% over the past 30 days and 12.3% over 90 days. At the current price of $84.50, the shares are trading marginally below the purchase price, reflecting the recent weakness in the stock. UPS maintains solid fundamentals with a P/E of 10.30, revenue of $21,546,000,000.00, net income of $1,187,000,000.00, and a market cap of $60,326,600,561.50, though annual revenue growth is muted at +0.1%. The substantial increase in CEO holdings during a period of stock weakness, combined with a relatively low valuation multiple, suggests opportunistic positioning at a depressed price level.

JOHNSON WILLIAM R Buy
5,000 shares
$432,477
@ $86.50
Significance 6/10

Director William R Johnson purchases 5,000 UPS shares at $86.50, doubling stake to 10,160 shares amid -38.9% YTD decline from 52-week high.

Director Johnson purchased 5,000 shares at $86.50 on 2025-07-31, increasing his UPS holdings by 96.9% from 5,160 to 10,160 shares, with a total transaction value of $432,477.00. The stock is currently trading at $84.50, down 38.9% from its 52-week high of $138.35 and down 19.9% over the past 30 days. Johnson's prior buy at UPS on 2024-07-25 showed a 90-day return of +2.2%, establishing a pattern of well-timed purchases at this ticker. The company's fundamentals remain solid with $21.5B in quarterly revenue, $1.2B net income, and a low P/E of 10.30, though annual revenue growth is minimal at +0.1%. The significant increase in his absolute shareholding during a period of substantial price depreciation, coupled with his demonstrated ability to time prior UPS purchases well, warrants observation of whether this represents director confidence in valuation at current levels.

Brothers Norman M. Jr Sell
Chief Legal & Compliance Off
7,325 shares
$1,015,009
@ $138.57
Significance 4/10

Chief Legal & Compliance Officer of UPS sells entire 7.3K share stake for $1.0M at $138.57, leaving zero holdings

Norman M. Jr, Chief Legal & Compliance Officer of United Parcel Service Inc, executed a complete liquidation of his equity stake, selling 7,325 shares at $138.57 on 2024-11-25 for a total value of $1,015,009.14. The sale eliminated 100.0% of his prior holdings. The transaction price of $138.57 compares to a current price of $135.68, representing a sale near recent levels within the stock's 52-week range of $123.32–$162.94. This full-position sale by a C-suite compliance officer warrants monitoring to understand whether it reflects operational circumstances, portfolio rebalancing, or other factors, particularly given the company's -9.4% annual revenue growth and current market valuation of $96.9B.

Cesarone Nando Sell
President, US Operations
10,000 shares
$1,371,022
@ $137.10
Significance 5/10

UPS President US Operations Cesarone sells 10,000 shares at $137.10; stock now -16.7% from 52-week high

Cesarone Nando, President of US Operations, sold 10,000 shares (21.4% of pre-transaction holdings) on 2024-11-25 at $137.10, reducing his position from 46,769 shares to 36,769 shares. This sale occurred as UPS stock trades at $135.68, down 16.7% from its 52-week high of $162.94 and near the lower end of its 52-week range. His prior sale at UPS in August 2023 demonstrated well-timed execution, with the stock declining 16.6% in the subsequent 90 days. The company is facing headwinds with annual revenue declining 9.4% year-over-year, while trading at a P/E of 17.09. While the magnitude and timing relative to fundamentals warrant observation, a single insider sale does not constitute a broad signal of executive concern given the limited transaction history at this ticker.

JOHNSON WILLIAM R Buy
5,000 shares
$643,034
@ $128.61
Significance 7/10

Director William R Johnson purchased 5,000 UPS shares for $643.0K on 2024-07-25; holdings surge to 5.2K (+3125.0% vs pre-transaction 160 shares).

Director Johnson's purchase of 5,000 shares represents a substantial commitment in absolute dollar terms ($643,034.50), though the percentage impact is magnified by his minimal prior holding (160 shares, yielding a +3125.0% net change). The transaction occurred at $128.61, while the stock now trades at $127.08 within a 52-week range of $127.08–$188.34, indicating the purchase was made during a period of material price weakness: the stock is -32.5% from its 52-week high and has declined -13.9% over the prior 90 days. Given UPS's annual revenue decline of -9.4% year-over-year and a modest P/E of 15.31, the transaction price was at the lower end of the annual range, though without scheduled-trade disclosures or track-record data, the timing mechanics remain opaque. This acquisition materially establishes Johnson's equity stake in a major logistics company navigating operational headwinds.
