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. » Więcej na finanzen.net

FedEx forecasts adjusted earnings per share of $18 to $18.60 and expects revenue to grow by 12%, 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, partly due to restructuring costs outside the US. The company is considering, among other options, a sale of its freight unit and is struggling with inflation-driven higher costs that can only be partly passed on through fuel surcharges. After the results were released the stock initially fell sharply in after-hours trading. » Więcej na finanzen.net

FedEx reported Q1 revenue of $22.86 billion, up 12% year over year, and adjusted EPS of $3.74, beating expectations.
