In short

Thesis
Investors pay a premium for the cost cuts and buybacks of FedEx after the FedEx Freight spin-off, and only higher margins from Network 2.0 and international can earn it.
Gap
Can close. The transition period results in early 2027 show whether the Network 2.0 savings and the rate increase lift margins enough.

Company guidance: Adjusted diluted EPS from continuing operations of $18.00 to $18.60 and revenue growth of about 12% for calendar 2026 (, Q3 2026 earnings release (8-K))

Price history

About

FedEx delivers packages and freight in the United States and around the world. It has two reportable segments. Express U.S. Domestic gives priority, deferred and ground package services in the United States, and Express International gives international package, freight and domestic services in other countries.

In the three months to September 30, 2026, Express U.S. Domestic had revenue of $14,710 million and Express International $7,465 million, of total revenue of $22,855 million. FedEx Office and FedEx Dataworks are smaller businesses. On June 1, 2026, FedEx spun off its less-than-truckload business, FedEx Freight, and it keeps 19.9% of FedEx Freight's shares.

It sold FedEx Supply Chain on October 1, 2026. FedEx changed its fiscal year end from May 31 to December 31, so it reports the seven months from June 1 to December 31, 2026 as a transition period. The head office is in Memphis, Tennessee. Raj Subramaniam is President and Chief Executive Officer.

Thesis

FedEx trades above its intrinsic value because investors pay for its cost cuts, its higher package prices and its share buybacks after the spin-off of FedEx Freight. In Q3 2026, revenue rose 12% to $22.9 billion and adjusted EPS rose to $3.74 from $2.93. FedEx raised its outlook for adjusted EPS for calendar 2026 to $18.00 to $18.60, and it bought back $2.0 billion of shares from June to September 2026.

For the shares to earn this price, three things must be true. The Network 2.0 program must cut structural costs by $1.0 billion by the end of 2026 as planned, so that margins rise. Express International, with an adjusted operating margin of only 3.9% in Q3 2026, must earn more when trade rules change.

The 5.9% average rate increase of January 4, 2027 must hold while volumes grow. The report on the transition period, expected in early 2027, is the next test, and it is the first under the new chief financial officer, Jamere Jackson. Weak trade volumes, higher wages or lower prices can make the premium hard to keep.

Risks

  • International trade drives Express International. New tariffs or other trade rules can lower volumes and margins, as they did in 2025 and 2026.
  • Wages are the largest cost. A new contract for the pilots took effect on June 29, 2026, with an initial pay increase of 40% and a one-time payment of $625 million. Purchased transportation rates also rose in Q3 2026.
  • FedEx competes with UPS, the U.S. Postal Service, Amazon and regional carriers. Lower prices or the loss of large customers can reduce margins.
  • FedEx records its FedEx Freight shares at market value. Their price changes move GAAP EPS, as with the loss of $1.2 billion in Q3 2026.
  • The cash of $8.0 billion at September 30, 2026 includes about $2.7 billion of tariff refunds that FedEx holds for customers.
