United Parcel Service Inc. said it agreed to buy shipping-services provider Coyote Logistics LLC for $1.8 billion, which would expand its presence in the burgeoning freight-brokerage business and help it handle the volatility of its peak holiday season. UPS, which is acquiring Coyote from private-equity firm Warburg Pincus LLC, said Friday that it expects the addition to eventually boost profits by $100 million to $150 million and start adding to earnings in 2016.
