FedEx Stock Rises Ahead Fiscal Q4 Earnings Amid Mixed Market

FedEx is set to report its fiscal 2025 fourth-quarter earnings with analysts largely optimistic, as 12 of 14 tracked analysts recommend buying the stock, anticipating an average price target implying a 24% upside. The company expects a slight revenue decline of just over 1% to $21.82 billion but projects an 8% increase in adjusted earnings per share to $5.88, driven by ongoing cost-cutting initiatives. Despite recent challenges, including a missed estimate and lowered full-year outlook in the previous quarter, some analysts like UBS have slightly reduced their price targets due to muted volume and revenue expectations, while Morgan Stanley anticipates a potential earnings miss influenced by inflation, tariff issues, and business-to-business weaknesses. Nevertheless, FedEx's stock has gained 1.23% recently, marking two consecutive days of gains amid mixed market conditions. Other stocks such as Bread Financial Holdings and Ford Motor Co. also saw gains, while IDEX Corp. experienced a slight decline during the same trading session.
