United Parcel Service (UPS)
UPS is undergoing its largest network overhaul ever. In the past few months, the company has announced plans to cut 20,000 jobs and close over 70 facilities, including offering buyouts to Teamsters-represented drivers, in a bid to streamline operations amid lower-margin Amazon volume and broader tariff impacts.
Earnings rose 3.3% in Q1 thanks to cost savings and network efficiency. UPS is steering toward a leaner, more automated structure to boost profitability.

The Home Depot (HD)
Home Depot recently completed a $5.5 billion deal to acquire GMS Inc., a large distributor of building materials like drywall, insulation, and ceiling systems. GMS mainly serves professional contractors, so this deal is part of Home Depot’s effort to better serve the professional market, including builders, remodelers, and other tradespeople.
The acquisition expands the reach of SRS Distribution, which is Home Depot’s supply network focused on specialty building products such as roofing, landscaping, and pool materials. With GMS added in, SRS now operates more than 1,200 locations and runs a fleet of over 8,000 trucks.
This move gives Home Depot better scale, faster delivery capabilities, and a wider product selection for professional customers. It also helps the company compete more directly with other large suppliers in the construction and renovation space.
