U.S. President Donald Trump will meet with leaders of U.S. Steel and FedEx on Thursday, ABC News reported, citing sources.
FedEx stock (NYSE: FDX) dropped 7% on February 3 amid concerns over new tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China impacting logistics demand. While the tariffs were temporarily suspended for one month, the uncertainty may continue affecting delivery companies' outlook.
FedEx's recent stock dip presents a compelling buy-the-dip opportunity due to its strong balance sheet, cost-saving DRIVE initiative, and shareholder-friendly capital allocation. At a forward P/E of 12.9 and a growing dividend yield of 2.2%, FedEx offers a significant discount and the potential for strong total returns. Patient value investors may do well by accumulating FedEx, a high-quality logistics leader, at the current bargain valuation.
Federal Express (FDX -6.62%) will benefit from the continued worldwide shift to online spending.
Higher prices will reduce demand for goods and cool the economy, which in turn impacts the transportation sector.
In the most recent trading session, FedEx (FDX) closed at $275.06, indicating a -1.29% shift from the previous trading day.
Amid FDX's cost-cut efforts in the face of demand weakness, we asses the investment worthiness of the stock.
The new year is just getting started, and that means investors need to get off on the right footing for the first quarter so that they can have the rest of the year as an open field to take on more positions and ideas, with not only the confidence but the financial room they would have made for themselves after rocking the start of the year. To get this done, investors should align themselves with what some Wall Street firms are doing right now.
FDX's Q2 report was unimpressive, with revenue down 0.9% y/y and EPS up 1.5% y/y, missing and beating analyst estimates respectively. The spinoff of the Freight business is a positive move, expected to unlock significant shareholder value and provide higher long-term returns. Post the spinoff, investors are better off investing fully in the Freight Entity and exiting the parent company.
The holiday season is here, and that means FedEx (FDX 1.05%) and United Parcel Service (UPS 0.41%) are hard at work fulfilling peak order volumes. FedEx has produced decent gains on the year, but UPS is down big and is hovering around a four-year low.
