United Parcel Service Inc’s (UPS) quarterly revenue, reported on Tuesday, surged past Wall Street estimates, as the package delivery company experienced a boom in online purchases amid the coronavirus pandemic.

UPS’ total revenue went up 27% year-on-year to $22.9 billion during the latest fiscal quarter, while outstripping a consensus of analyst estimates pointing to revenue of $20.49 billion.

Revenue at United Parcel’s domestic unit went up 22.3% year-on-year, propelled by growth from small- and medium-sized businesses.

Meanwhile, quarterly earnings, which exclude special items, were reported at $2.77 per share.

E-commerce deliveries for UPS and rivals have surged considerably during the COVID-19 pandemic as consumers staying at home have been ordering a wide range of items mostly online.

The stock went up 10.42% ($18.32) to $194.13, after touching an intraday high at $197.20 and also a fresh all-time high.

Shares of United Parcel Service Inc have risen 15.28% so far in 2021 compared with an 11.47% gain for the benchmark index, S&P 500 (SPX).
