United Parcel Service Inc.'s board approved a new $5 billion stock-buyback program.

The new plan will replace the company's existing $2.1 billion authorization, the package delivery company said Thursday.

UPS's shares have gained 31% in the past 12 months due to the surge in demand from homebound consumers and rebounding shipments between businesses as economies reopened with the rolling out of the Covid-19 vaccines.
