Jim Cramer on United Parcel: “I Don’t Buy Stocks for Yield. I Buy Stocks for Growth”

United Parcel Service, Inc. (NYSE:UPS) was among Jim Cramer’s stock calls on Mad Money as he discussed how semiconductor and AI infrastructure stocks are driving the market higher. Inquiring about the stock, a caller noted its 20% year-to-date decline and called the company’s Q1 earnings per share “not pretty.” Cramer replied:

I don’t, you know, look, it’s got that… yield, but I don’t buy stocks for yield. I buy stocks for growth, and therefore, I’d buy FedEx because that is the winner. Raj Subramaniam’s doing a remarkable job.

United Parcel Service, Inc. (NYSE:UPS) provides global package delivery and logistics services, including express shipping, freight forwarding, and supply chain management. Cramer highlighted the company’s lay-offs during the October 28, 2025, episode. The Mad Money host said:

Beyond tech, how about this one? UPS today, did you see that? They just announced they laid off 48,000 people this year. By the way, that was a major reason why they delivered much, much better than expected earnings today. Good for the shareholders, but obviously not good for the workers who lost their jobs or the broader economy.

While we acknowledge the risk and potential of UPS as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and doing so within a shorter time frame. If you are looking for an AI stock that is more promising than UPS and that has 10,000% upside potential, check out our report about this cheapest AI stock.
