Shares of transportation stocks are trading lower amid concerns over tariffs, which could weigh on global trade and dampen economic activity.

United Parcel Service shares are trading lower after UBS cut its price target on the stock from $141 to $127.

This is the case of a Reddit user who is exploring this approach. With $30,000 to invest, he's seeking long-term dividend stocks that can grow over the next 20 years until retirement. While he already holds dividend-paying stocks like Apple (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) and Walt Disney&nbsp; (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIS#NYSE">DIS</a>), he wants to expand his portfolio for stability and future income, even if it's just enough to cover yearly vacations.

Long-term stability, that my wife and I can use the dividends as another form of income say in 20 years. Even if it&#8217;s just enough to pay for a yearly vacation here or there.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Where to Invest $30,000 to Generate Enough Income to Cover Yearly Vacations? Reddit Answers</h2>
Put the Money in an ETF
Several commenters recommended Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SCHD#NYSE">SCHD</a>) as a core holding because of its dividend yield, historical growth, and the low-risk, diversified exposure it offers investors.
&#8220;Go all in SCHD. Low risk, nice 3.5% starting yield and it will just keep growing,&#8221; a commenter said.
Reinforcing the idea that SCHD fits the poster&#8217;s long-term stability and dividend payout need, this Redditor also suggested he goes with SCHD: &#8220;Since you want some growth and decent payout, SCHD is a great option. 3.5% dividends and 11% growth over the last 10 years each year.&#8221;
&#8220;I would stick with S&amp;P 500 ETFs being young. Put it in a self-direct investment retirement account to avoid taxes,&#8221; a comment reads.

Consider High-Yield Dividend Stocks and Trusts
Several commenters suggested higher-yield assets that would generate higher payouts for the investor in the long run.
&#8220;If you want higher yield stocks check: [Verizon Communications (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/vz#NYSE">VZ</a>)], [AT&amp;T (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/t#NYSE">T</a>)], [Realty Income Corporation (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/o#NYSE">O</a>)], [Altria Group (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mo#NYSE">MO</a>)], [British American Tobacco (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bti#NYSE">BTI</a>)],&#8221; a Redditor recommended.
A commenter mentioned United Parcel Service (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UPS#NYSE">UPS</a>) as a great pick since the company seems to start focusing on higher profit margin areas.
&#8220;UPS pays a solid dividend and the share price has been beaten down a lot on the news that they are reducing Amazon deliveries to focus on higher profit margin areas,&#8221; he said.

Susquehanna Maintains Neutral on United Parcel Service, Lowers Price Target to $120

Logistics giant United Parcel Service (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UPS#NYSE">UPS</a>) launched a new platform that will provide upfront costs, including the impact <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/02/43711974/trump-launches-plan-for-reciprocal-tariffs-sp-500-nears-record-highs-dollar-tumbles-as-investors-cheer-on-late-kickoff">of any tariffs</a>, for consumers on international purchases.
What Happened: UPS recently launched UPS Global Checkout, enabling consumers to view the impact <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44554008/wall-street-on-edge-futures-slide-ahead-of-trumps-liberation-day-tariff-shock">of tariffs imposed</a> by President Donald Trump on various countries before placing an order.
The service is launching in 43 countries and guarantees the cost of customs fees and duties on international purchases, UPS <a href="https://about.ups.com/us/en/newsroom/press-releases/customer-first/ups-unveils-game-changing-ups--global-checkout--no-more-surprise.html">said</a>.
UPS launched the platform in response to shoppers frequently facing unexpected fees for unpaid import costs after placing international orders. The launch also comes ahead of Trump's self-proclaimed "Liberation Day" on April 2, when he plans to announce reciprocal tariffs on multiple countries.
"With UPS Global Checkout, we're making international shopping around the world as easy as buying in-store," UPS EVP and President of International, Healthcare and Supply Chain Solutions Kate Gutmann said.
Gutmann said that UPS Global Checkout allows online shoppers to have "peace of mind" when they pay at checkout because they will not be subject to additional fees.
"This, combined with our total UPS premium delivery experience, benefits our customers – the retailers – by helping to drive additional sales."

Why It's Important: UPS is the only global integrated carrier with a guaranteed cost structure for international shipping, according to the company.
The platform adjusts to policy changes, duties and tariffs in real time, which could be helpful given the ever-changing world of tariffs and the percent levied on certain countries and industries.
"Given trade shifts around the world, expanding growth opportunities in new markets can now be seamless," Gutmann said.
UPS highlighted a survey of U.S. and UK shoppers that found that 41% of shoppers avoided international e-commerce purchases if the duties and taxes were not clear at checkout.
With Trump set to place additional tariffs on items and countries, UPS's new tool could come at the perfect time and help the logistics company land new deals and partnerships as more consumers worry about not paying extra fees after purchase.
UPS Price Action: United Parcel Service stock traded at $110.25 on Monday versus a 52-week trading range of $108.30 to $154.29. The stock hit a new 52-week low on Monday, and shares are down 11.4% year-to-date.

Barclays Maintains Underweight on United Parcel Service, Lowers Price Target to $90

This year&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs">tariff storms</a> have hit tech stocks, semiconductor stocks and even metal and mining stocks. Now, they&#8217;re starting to hit dividend stocks, too.
Ford CEO <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/jim-farley">Jim Farley</a> recently stated, &#8220;If tariffs persist, it will mean billions of dollars of losses for the domestic car industry.&#8221;
That&#8217;s a problem for investors counting on Ford&#8217;s usual robust dividend yield, currently at 6.10%. That figure could easily fall as the auto manufacturer&#8217;s profitability guidance points to lower net income levels as tariffs hit the company&#8217;s investments in manufacturing in Canada and Mexico.
It&#8217;s not just about Ford, either. Other major American brands face lower dividend payouts, too, mostly due to affordability.
But three big-name dividend stocks look set to weather the tariff storm.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Souring Dividend Climate </h2>
In 2024, Ford&#8217;s high dividend was supported by $5.9 billion in net income and $6.7 billion in free cash flow. The company projects the free cash flow figure will decline to between $3.5 billion and $4.5 billion in 2025, as the company figures to pay more to ship products into the US in a post-tariff shift business environment.
Consequently, analysts expect Ford to curb its dividend payout to approximately .12 cents per share, with more doubts sown daily, and the 25% tariffs remain in place.
Some market experts say companies like Ford, which may cut dividend payouts, can&#8217;t solely blame tariffs.
&#8220;Although the general impact of any additional fiscal burdening, including not only tariffs but, let&#8217;s say, tax increases, on stock dividends, is unequivocally negative, we should be able to separate apples from oranges here,&#8221; said John Murillo, chief dealing officer of B2BROKER, a global fintech solutions provider for financial institutions:
In Murillo&#8217;s view, Ford&#8217;s claim that their intention to cut dividends would be linked to the tariff situation appears unjustified. &#8220;In fact, Ford Motor Company is a gross and net beneficiary of Trump&#8217;s imposition of tariffs on European automobile imports.&#8221;
Ford isn&#8217;t the only company affected. &#8220;The tariff/dividend issue is significant,&#8221; said David Capablanca, a veteran securities trader and host of the Friendly Bear Podcast. &#8220;When tariffs are introduced, consumer spending typically decreases, which affects the entire economy and, by extension, the stock market.&#8221;
As a result, stock prices generally go down, and dividend payouts are often reduced. &#8220;This is just the nature of things,&#8221; Capablanca said. &#8220;Companies adjust their dividends based on how the company is performing, and when the market is in a downturn, dividends will reflect that.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Three Good Dividend Stocks In Tough Tariff Times</h2>
Capablanca advises income-minded investors to focus on stocks with good overall performance, not just those offering a high dividend.
&#8220;Look at the stock&#8217;s chart and see if it looks bullish,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Make sure it&#8217;s trending upward or at least holding steady. If you believe in the company and its sector, it&#8217;s important to ensure the stock isn&#8217;t in a downward spiral.&#8221;
Many struggling companies will try to entice investors with high dividends. &#8220;In those cases, the stock&#8217;s performance is what&#8217;s important,&#8221; he added.
Here are three dividend-paying stocks that fit the bill.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">UPS</h2>
UPS (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UPS#NYSE">UPS</a>) is a sold dividend stock on Capablanca&#8217;s radar screen right now, and the delivery giant is continuing to back its shareholder payouts. In a January analyst call, company CEO Carole Tome noted, &#8220;From a dividend payout perspective, we&#8217;re targeting 50% of earnings, and we&#8217;re higher than that… So (we have) plenty of liquidity to pay the dividend.&#8221;
Despite recently losing about 50% of its Amazon delivery business, UPS says it has $5.7 billion in free cash flow, plans to pay $5.5 billion in dividends and will rebuy $1 billion of stock. The stock is down 12.50% this year, far outpacing the market and presenting a buying opportunity, especially when considering the current 5.94% dividend yield.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">PepsiCo</h2>
PepsiCo (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PEP#NASDAQ">PEP</a>) is one of the bigger US companies that appears to be immune to the Trump tariffs, taking on fewer trading risks than its competitors, having relatively fewer products on tariff lists and being another company that values its shareholders with regularly substantial dividend payouts.
&#8220;This is a worldwide consumer staple with pricing power and a 50-plus year dividend history that is resilient even in markets filled with tariffs,&#8221; said Fei Chen, CEO of Intellectia AI and a long-time market investment strategist. The stock is down a bit this year, at -1.14%, but much less than the market&#8217;s 5% drop. It also boasts a 3.61% dividend yield.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Proctor &amp; Gamble</h2>
A traditional inflation-passer with worldwide brand power, Proctor &amp; Gamble (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PG#NYSE">PG</a>) historically absorbs price increases while continuing to make steady payouts. &#8220;Firms like Proctor &amp; Gamble score well on pricing power and capital efficiency, the two pillars of dividend safety in volatile times,&#8221; Chen notes. It&#8217;s almost flat for the year, with a -0.30% return and a 2.40% dividend yield.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Don&#8217;t Make These Dividend Investing Mistakes</h2>
The most typical mistake investors make when buying high-dividend stocks is failing to diversify across sectors.
&#8220;Many investors prioritize the dividends&#8217; percentage value and payout history while playing down the essence of the companies&#8217; operations,&#8221; Murillo said. &#8220;The current turmoil beating some dividend stocks ostensibly linked to impairments caused by the U.S. import tariffs brings this omission to the forefront.&#8221;
Capablanca warns that income-minded investors should also be cautious and not buy stocks solely based on high dividend yields.
&#8220;Some companies that aren&#8217;t performing well may try to attract investors by offering high dividends, but this can be a dangerous strategy,&#8221; he said. &#8220;If the stock price is consistently falling, the dividend won&#8217;t compensate for the loss in stock value.&#8221;
For example, if you buy a $100 stock that offers a decent dividend but the price drops to $90, $80, or even $60, the dividend becomes insignificant because you&#8217;re losing money on the overall investment,&#8221; he said. &#8220;The key is to look for stocks with decent dividends and a healthy trajectory.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Earnings Season Alert: Are You Ready for Volatility?</h2>
Earnings season brings major market moves—are you prepared to take advantage of them? Matt Maley, a former institutional trader with over 35 years of experience, is hosting a live session on Wednesday, April 2, at 6 PM ET to show you how to trade the volatility and make the most of Q1 earnings season.

The Expectations Index plunged to 65.2 — a level not seen since 2013 — reflecting growing pessimism. The report cited rising prices, especially for eggs and tariff-affected goods, as key concerns. Inflation expectations also climbed, from 5.8% in February to 6.2% in March.

Pre-Market Outlook

Wall Street's Most Accurate Analysts Spotlight On 3 Industrials Stocks Delivering High-Dividend Yields

U.S. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy announced his immediate resignation on Monday, marking a significant shift in leadership for the United States Postal Service amid <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/43217100/usps-offers-15k-buyouts-in-overstaffed-facilities-unions-and-critics-weigh-in">challenging market dynamics</a>.
What Happened: DeJoy&#8217;s resignation comes as the USPS faces significant financial challenges, projecting a net loss of $9.5 billion for the fiscal year ending Sep. 30. The agency, which employs 640,000 workers, has seen stamp prices climb 36% since 2019, rising from 50 cents to 73 cents.
The USPS Board of Governors has engaged executive search firm Egon Zehnder to find the 76th Postmaster General. Kevin Yoder, a former Republican congressman, commented on DeJoy&#8217;s departure, <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/03/24/dejoy-stepping-down-usps?utm_source=twitter&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=editorial">according</a> to Axios, stating, &#8220;While we&#8217;re glad to see DeJoy go, the fear is that his mismanagement will continue casting a destructive shadow.&#8221;
The departure comes amid intense discussions about the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42545204/marjorie-taylor-greene-pushes-to-sell-off-usps-amid-doge-momentum-we-need-to-privatize-ive-been-saying-it-for-years">Postal Service&#8217;s future</a>, including potential privatization efforts championed by political figures like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and supported by the Department of Government Efficiency.

Why It Matters: The postal service&#8217;s competitive landscape has undergone dramatic transformations, as revealed by Pitney Bowes Inc.&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PBI#NYSE">PBI</a>) annual U.S. Parcel Shipping Index 2023. 
Among the four largest carriers—USPS, Amazon.com Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) Amazon Logistics, UPS (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UPS#NYSE">UPS</a>), and FedEx (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FDX#NYSE">FDX</a>)—only Amazon Logistics experienced year-over-year volume growth, surging 15.7%.
Amazon Logistics has made remarkable strides, nearly tripling its shipping volumes from 2 billion to 5.9 billion parcels between 2019 and 2023. 
However, the company remains fourth in market share by revenue, generating $28.6 billion compared to UPS&#8217;s $68.9 billion and FedEx&#8217;s $63.2 billion.

空売りの興味を追跡することは重要で、特定の株に対する市場感情の指標として機能することがあります。空売りの興味の増加は、投資家が悲観的になったことを示す可能性があり、一方空売りの興味の減少は、彼らが楽観的になったことを示す可能性があります。

<h4>インド</h4>
インドは引き続き最も優れた長期投資機会の一つである。フルディスクロージャーとして、インドに焦点を当てたファンドであるFairfax India Holdings Corp（OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FFXDF#OTC">FFXDF</a>）は The Arora Report の ZYX Buy Model Portfolio に含まれている。インドにフォーカスした3つのETF、WisdomTree India Earnings Fund（NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EPI#NYSE">EPI</a>）、iShares MSCI India Small-Cap ETF（BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMIN#BATS">SMIN</a>）、VanEck India Growth Leaders ETF（NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLIN#NYSE">GLIN</a>）が The Arora Reportの ZYX Emerging Model Portfolio に含まれている。
インドの株式にとって、中央政府の予算は常に大きなイベントとなる。この度発表された予算は、長期的には素晴らしいものだが、短期的には、キャピタルゲイン税が増えたことによって投資家が慄いている。短期キャピタルゲインには20％の税率、長期キャピタルゲインには12.5％の税率が適用される。

<h4>ビットコイン</h4>
ビットコインの大口投資家は、ビットコイン（暗号通貨: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>）を月面まで駆け上がらせる野心的なトランプの噂に取り組んでいる。その噂とは、トランプが、ビットコインを国家的な戦略準備金にすることができるというものだ。なお、トランプは、これに先立ち、ビットコインを100％ハイプした2024年の会議（およびそのラウンドテーブルイベント）に投資家を招待している。トランプはこの会議に対して、1人当たり84.5万ドルの費用を支払うことが条件となっている。
<h4>保護バンドと今後の対応</h4>
投資家にとっては、前方を見ることが、後方を見ることよりも重要である。
良質な、非常に長期のポジションを維持することを検討してみるのも一つの方法である。個々のリスク選好に基づき、現金あるいは国債、あるいは短期の戦術的取引、または短期から中期のヘッジ取引を含む保護バンドを考慮することも重要だ。これは自己を保護するための良い方法であり、反対に利益を伸ばすことができる。
投資家は、ヘッジと現金を合算することで、自己の保護バンドを確定することができる。高い保護バンドは、年配者または保守的な投資家に適している。低い保護バンドは、若い投資家または積極的な投資家に適している。もしヘッジを行わない場合、現金の合計額は上記よりも多く、しかしそれ以上にヘッジを行った場合よりも現金の合計額は少ない。
保護バンドが0％の場合、その時点での市場予測は非常に楽観的であり、投資家は現金を0％保有し、100％の資産を株式に投資することを選択したことを意味する。一方で保護バンドが100％の場合、その時点での市場予測は非常に悲観的であり、投資家はヘッジまたはショートセリングの方法で自己を保護しようと決意したことを意味する。
新たな機会を活用するには、十分な現金を保有していなければならない。これは投資家にとって非常に重要なポイントである。ヘッジレベルを調整する際には、株式ポジション（ETF以外）の部分的なストップ数量を調整することを検討する。また、残りの数量に対して幅の広いストップを使用すること、およびハイベータ株に対してもっとスペースを与えることを検討することも重要だ。なお、ハイベータ株とは、市場よりも個
