On this episode of Stock Movers: - United Parcel Service (UPS) shares soared after it smashed Wall Street’s profit expectations by cutting costs and eliminating 34,000 jobs this year. The cuts to its permanent operational workforce — a group that includes drivers and package handlers — marked a 70% increase from its previous target. - UnitedHealth Group (UNH) beat Wall Street expectations for third-quarter earnings and raised its outlook for the year, a sign that the health conglomerate has stabilized after a major meltdown. The company is planning for “durable and accelerating growth in 2026,” UnitedHealth said in a statement Tuesday. - Amazon.com (AMZN) shares are slightly higher after announcing plans to eliminate roughly 14,000 corporate jobs. The move comes just months after Chief Executive Officer Andy Jassy warned that AI will shrink the company’s workforce. (Source: Bloomberg)
