FedEx now expects adjusted earnings per share of $18 to $18.60 and forecasts revenue growth of 12% for the current year, one percentage point higher than previously. In the third quarter revenue rose 12% to $22.9 billion, but net income fell by about two-thirds to $290 million, weighed down by restructuring costs outside the U.S. The company plans, among other measures, to sell its freight division and is grappling with inflation-driven costs, while the share price swung sharply in after-hours trading. Analysts see the figures as a positive signal for the upcoming peak season in the final quarter, from which competitors like UPS and DHL could also benefit. » More on finanzen.net
