Why UPS Surged Nearly 20% in April

Shares in package delivery giant UPS (NYSE: UPS) rose a whopping 19.9% in April, according to data provided by S&P Global Market Intelligence. The impressive margin performance is a demonstration that UPS can increase profit margin even when it's making relatively more business-to-consumer (B2C) deliveries -- a key aim for the company. For reference, B2C deliveries tend to be more costly than business-to-business (B2B) deliveries as they often involve inefficiently packaged items, which are delivered to myriad residential addresses.
