FedEx Quarterly Earnings Could Miss Street Views Amid Margin Pressures, Morgan Stanley Says

FedEx's (FDX) fiscal fourth-quarter earnings could fall short of Wall Street's expectations as margin pressures continue to outweigh "stable" sales trends, Morgan Stanley said in a note e-mailed Wednesday.The parcel delivery giant is expected to report earnings of $5.58 a share for the quarter, below the Street's views for $5.92, according to Morgan Stanley. The brokerage projects quarterly earnings before interest and taxes at $1.92 billion, also lagging the $2 billion modeled by analysts."We expect FedEx (fourth-quarter) EBIT and EPS to come in modestly below consensus, as margin pressures continue to outweigh stable revenue trends," Morgan Stanley said in a note to clients.FedEx is scheduled to report results June 23. The company completed the spin-off of its freight business recently. FedEx Freight (FDXF) now trades as an independent company on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol FDXF."Following the June 1 separation, we expect both FedEx Express and FedEx Freight to deliver (fourth-quarter) results that are modestly ahead on revenue, but below (consensus) EBIT, reinforcing our view that pricing stabilization may not be translating into the degree of margin recovery implied by expectations," Morgan Stanley said.The express segment's EBIT and margins remained pressured in the quarter despite a sequential improvement due to persistent cost headwinds, according to the note.The freight business' operational trends "appear to be stabilizing following a difficult" third quarter, the firm said. However, "weaker-than-expected pricing and continued volume pressure are expected to weigh on earnings," Morgan Stanley wrote.Investors are not expected to not have "full standalone visibility" into the parcel and freight businesses until late October, as disclosures roll out in phases, according to the note."As both businesses begin operating independently, we believe investors will increasingly focus on the sustainability of normalized margin profiles, particularly as the gap between revenue performance and earnings conversion remains a key concern across both segments," Morgan Stanley said.Price: $326.70, Change: $-2.31, Percent Change: -0.70%

FedEx Entering New Phase After Freight Spin-Off, Q4 EPS Seen Below Consensus, Morgan Stanley Says

FedEx (FDX) is poised to report fiscal Q4 earnings before interest and taxes, and earnings per share modestly below consensus as margin pressures continue to outweigh stable revenue trends, Morgan Stanley said in a Wednesday note.The investment firm said the company is entering a new phase following the spin-off of FedEx Freight (FDXF) and investors are likely to focus on long-term fundamentals.The brokerage added that as both businesses begin operating independently, investors will increasingly focus on the sustainability of normalized margin profiles as the gap between revenue performance and earnings conversion remains a key concern.Morgan Stanley said it expects quarterly EBIT of $1.92 billion, compared with a consensus estimate of $1.99 billion. It expect EPS of $5.58 versus a consensus of $5.92. The brokerage added that consolidated results may be less meaningful following the company's spin-off.For the fiscal Q4, FedEx Express' continued pricing strength, fuel surcharge upside and share gains are likely to be offset by persistent cost headwinds and international trade disruptions. Weaker-than-expected pricing and continued volume pressure at FedEx Freight are expected to weigh on earnings, according to the note.FedEx is scheduled to report its fiscal Q4 results on June 23.Morgan Stanley lowered its price target to $160 from $230, with an underweight rating.Price: $328.37, Change: $-0.63, Percent Change: -0.19%

Research Alert: Fedex Completes Freight Spin-off; Legacy Business Less Attractive Post-split

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:FedEx completed the spin-off of FedEx Freight as FDXF on June 1, 2026, with shares beginning NYSE trading and FDX up modestly after adjusting for the 1:2 distribution. FDX retains 19.9% of FDXF shares for release over 24 months through debt repayment, special dividend, or share exchange options. We view the spin-off as a net positive for existing shareholders, allowing them to benefit from less-than-truckload firms' typical premium valuations over diversified shipping companies while essentially maintaining combined exposure. FDX will report FY 26 (May) results on June 23 reflecting the combined company through May 31. However, we see the legacy FDX business as less attractive due to the shift toward B2C from B2B customers, which comprised the majority of FedEx Freight volume. We think this business mix change dilutes a key competitive advantage over UPS, particularly given our concerns about unsustainable consumer spending habits and the Iran conflict accelerating pullback likelihood.
