United Parcel Service's strong earnings report Tuesday was overshadowed by news of the retirement of Chief Operating Officer Jim Barber, who was long viewed as the company's next CEO.

Shares in Atlanta-based UPS fell on news of the departure of Chief Operating Officer Barber.

Despite the advantage, investors remain wary of the potential ill-effects of the ongoing US-China trade war on the company as it gears up for what could be its biggest holiday season in history.
