Commenting on new, anlayst Justin Yagerman said, "We remain confident at the high-end of UPS' guidance range following the modestly-better-than-expected Q1 results. In addition, UPS announced the acquisition of Cemelog, a medical logistics company serving Eastern and Central Europe, which is expected to close in June and will add 255,000 square feet of dedicated healthcare distribution space. This tuck-in acquisition should contribute density to its International Package segment and likely drive modest earnings accretion."
