UPS Misses Earnings Expectations, Blames It On The Weather

UPS just announced its Q1 financial results, and at first glance it doesn't look great.

Q1 earnings fell to $0.98 per share, missing analysts' expectation for $1.08.

Operating profit fell $106 million year-over-year to $1.5 billion.

But in big bold letters, UPS blames the weather.

"Unusually harsh weather weighed on operating profit by approximately $200 million, due to increased expenses and slower revenue growth," said management.
