USPS racks up stunning $1.3B Q1 2026 loss as postal watchdogs and advocacy groups continue calls for Postmaster General David Steiner to drop Delivering for America plan.
The fiscal quarter, which covers October 1 to December 31, is typically the most profitable time of year for the postal service with seasonal surcharges and rate increases and a higher volume of parcels – in fact the same quarter in 2024 saw USPS report a net positive income of $144 million.
That puts the actual year over year comparison for the same period in 2025 at a negative ~$1.4B, putting USPS on track to meet or exceed anticipated 2026 loss of $8.1 billion after reporting a ~$9B total loss for fiscal year 2025.
