UNITED PARCEL SERVICE INC. (UPS)

The last time we featured United Parcel Service (UPS) in our Daily Stock Report was on January 29, 2025—just two months ago. Since then, the stock has continued to weaken, with the closing price now at $109.95. This further validates SIA’s methodology of avoiding a contrarian approach, as names in the unfavored zone continue to show a lack of relative strength. Sellers remain in control, and there is limited interest from market participants in the stock at this time.

ALIMENTATION COUCHE-TARD INC. (ATD.TO)

Alimentation Couche-Tard (ATD.TO) has seen significant underperformance, with key support recently broken at $68, which may leave the stock vulnerable to further downside. In contrast to its benchmark, the SIA S&P/TSX 60 Index Fund (EWIXIU.TO), which has posted positive returns, the stock has experienced a -13.04% decline in the quarter and a weaker relative strength position. Based on the technical readings from the point and figure chart, the outlook for ATD.TO may remain challenging, with limited positives and potential risks ahead.
