FedEx shares tumble over 15% on limp demand, delivery trade-downBy Shivansh Tiwary, Lisa Baertlein
(Reuters) -Shares of FedEx (NYSE:FDX) slumped over 15% on Friday, the worst in two years, after a dismal first-quarter profit drop due to
anemic economic conditions and an ongoing customer shift toward slower, cheaper deliveries. FedEx, seen as a global trade barometer, lost over $11 billion in market value. Its earnings report dragged down shares in rivals United Parcel Service (NYSE:UPS) and DHL, which are also grappling with
sluggish demand and an overhead cost hangover from the early pandemic's ecommerce boom.
On Thursday, Memphis, Tennessee-based FedEx reported a bigger-than-expected drop in quarterly profit on
weak uptake of lucrative priority shipments between businesses, one fewer business day and below-target cost savings.
Executives brought down the top end of their earnings forecast - leading at
least eight brokerages to cut stock price targets on Friday.
Nevertheless, BofA reiterated its "buy" rating on the shares given FedEx's
ability to adjust pricing, further cut costs and benefit from a possible spin or sale of its profitable Freight unit, he said.
