Australian shares fell sharply Thursday, with the S&P/ASX 200 down 1.4% to 8,592.90 as renewed fighting near the Strait of Hormuz drove oil prices higher. Banks, miners, and tech stocks each lost over 2%, while gold miners dropped as much as 7.1%. April CPI eased to 4.2%, but core inflation remained above the Reserve Bank’s target.

  • United Parcel Service (UPS) Stock Seen 7.1% Undervalued After Earnings Beat
    June 18, 2026, 7:54 PM EDT. United Parcel Service (UPS) stock is viewed as potentially 7.1% undervalued following earnings that slightly exceeded revenue expectations despite a year-on-year sales decline. Shares have risen by 8.3% over one month and 9.4% across three months, with a one-year total return of 13%. UPS is advancing its Network of the Future initiative, aimed at boosting operating margins and capital efficiency through network reconfiguration and automation. Analysts project mid single-digit revenue growth and margin improvements driving a fair value estimate of $112.88 versus a closing price of $104.86. However, risks include global trade uncertainties and reduced Amazon shipping volumes, which may pressure revenue. Investors are advised to review forecasts carefully and weigh the balance of growth potential against operational challenges.
