On the filings behind it, United Parcel Service, Inc. Class B Common Stock earns 5.3 out of 10 for business quality as of October 18, 2026. That is mixed quality on our scale. A mixed reading means the strengths and weaknesses roughly cancel out, and the case for the business depends on which pillars you care about most. The figure is a weighted average of five pillars, each scored from 0 to 10 against sector-aware benchmarks from reported statements.
Ranked with the 270 Industrials companies Lemma publishes, the score sits at the 45th percentile, in the weaker half of its peers. The median across the group is 5.6, and the top quarter begins at 6.5, so United Parcel Service, Inc. Class B Common Stock is in line with the typical company here.
On profitability, United Parcel Service, Inc. Class B Common Stock scores 6.3, an average reading. Its peers have a median of 4.9 across 262 Industrials companies, which places it above them, at the 68th percentile. Middling returns are common and not a flaw in themselves, though they leave less slack when costs rise or demand softens.
On solvency, United Parcel Service, Inc. Class B Common Stock scores 6.2, an average reading. Its peers have a median of 7.1 across 241 Industrials companies, which places it below them, at the 38th percentile. Middling solvency says the balance sheet is neither a strength nor a constraint today.
United Parcel Service, Inc. Class B Common Stock’s growth score is 0.7 out of 10 (weak). Against a median of 5.4 among 216 Industrials companies, that is well below the group and the 4th percentile. Weak growth means revenue and earnings have been flat or shrinking against peers, which can be cyclical or a sign of a market that is maturing.
United Parcel Service, Inc. Class B Common Stock’s efficiency score is 6.1 out of 10 (average). Against a median of 6.2 among 264 Industrials companies, that is in line with the group and the 46th percentile. Middling efficiency is unremarkable on its own, though improvements here tend to show up in free cash flow first.
United Parcel Service, Inc. Class B Common Stock’s predictability score is 7.3 out of 10 (strong). Against a median of 5.0 among 267 Industrials companies, that is well above the group and the 87th percentile. High predictability means the company’s results have moved steadily from year to year, which makes the other pillars more trustworthy as a guide.
This is a lopsided profile. Predictability scores 7.3 but growth only 0.7, a gap of 6.6 points, so the overall hides a business that is excellent in one respect and weak in another. A predictability lead means consistency is the business’s strongest trait, which makes its other readings easier to trust. A growth shortfall often comes with size or a maturing market, and is less of a concern if the other pillars are strong.
Closing the gap on growth would do the most for the overall. At the median of Industrials companies, 5.4, United Parcel Service, Inc. Class B Common Stock would score about 6.2 instead of 5.3. All five pillars could be scored, so the overall uses the full set of weights out of 100: profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20.
