Create your account →Warn: Primary pillar under pressure — Revenue near $94.7 billion in fiscal 2026: FY26 revenue guidance $94.7B vs $94.7B target.
FedEx completed the spin-off of FedEx Freight by June 2026, unlocking value. Revenue is expected near $94.7 billion in fiscal 2026 with EPS guidance up to $17.75. Capital spending is capped near $4.1 billion, showing disciplined investment. The company returns capital to shareholders with $4.3 billion in dividends and buybacks.
FedEx faces risks from abandoning its supply chain business, which may weaken its core logistics network. Management turnover and legal challenges add uncertainty. Revenue growth is expected to slow to about 0.5% next year, signaling pressure on demand. The recent sharp share price selloff reflects these concerns.
The price is about 19% below our fair value near $387 and 19% below consensus targets. Analysts expect roughly 0.5% revenue growth next year. Our fair value is 11% above the Street median, reflecting some optimism on execution and capital returns.
Breaks if: Capital returned falls below $3.5 billion annually
Continue returning capital to stockholders through dividends and share repurchases, including robust buyback programs.

A long-form read on the 1–3 year hold thesis. It updates when the weekly evidence changes.
This investment represents a durable compounder with a focus on operational improvements and cost reductions. The current thesis state is intact, supported by recent strong financial performance and a completed spin-off.
The market currently prices FDX as cheap compared to its peers, reflecting a low expectations gap. Valuation has recently fallen, indicating that some of the positive sentiment may already be priced in.
Fundamentals are likely to remain strong in the near term due to management's focus on cost reductions and operational improvements. However, there is elevated risk stemming from the overall industry environment and the potential for earnings guidance changes.
The long-term thesis hinges on the performance of sector bellwethers like UPS, EXPD, and JBHT, which could influence FDX's momentum. Additionally, management's ability to achieve its cost reduction goals and maintain operational efficiency will be crucial.
The most important moves since the prior daily snapshot.
Yes, our read has strengthened. The company announced a $400 million investment in India. This includes a $150 million cargo hub in Delhi and a $250 million hub in Navi Mumbai. FedEx's India revenue grew over 40% last year, indicating strong growth potential. The logistics industry in India is experiencing structural growth in demand, driven by increased exports.
