Shares of UPS fell for the second straight session Monday morning following the news Amazon plans to launch its own shipping service that would directly compete with the two largest US shipping companies, UPS and FedEx.

UPS's stock was down 0.71% at $105.63 per share. It was trading 4.67% below its stock price of $110.83 per share on Thursday, before the news broke.

Shares of the Atlanta-based UPS fell Monday while its rival, FedEx gained, possibly because of its heavier reliance on Amazon for revenue. UPS carries about 30% of Amazon's total US shipments, which is the equivalent of $1 billion in annual revenue from Amazon. By contrast, Amazon only accounts for 3% of FedEx's annual revenue.

FedEx recouped its losses from Friday. It was trading up 0.74% at $237.05 a share.
