Company Report

FedEx's Top-Line Trends Still Sluggish, but Express Margins Show Promise

Overnight delivery pioneer FedEx is one of three large national carriers that dominate the for-hire small-parcel delivery landscape—FedEx and UPS are the major U.S. incumbents, while DHL Express leads Europe. FedEx is also the largest US less-than-truckload carrier, which helps forge sticky relationships with retail and industrial shippers on the package side. Rival UPS has been around much longer in the US ground market, forging a density advantage and higher margins, but FedEx has gradually enhanced its ground positioning over the past decade, with help from its speed advantage over UPS and capacity investment.

Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Despite near-term normalization off lofty levels, FedEx's US ground and international express package delivery operations should enjoy positive longer-term tailwinds from e-commerce growth.

Bears

Lingering sluggish retail restocking will create year-over-year volume growth headwinds into the first half of calendar 2024.

Company Profile

FedEx pioneered overnight delivery in 1973 and remains the world's largest express package provider. In its fiscal 2023, which ended May 2023, FedEx derived 47% of revenue from its express division, 37% from ground, and 11% from freight, its asset-based less-than-truckload shipping segment. The remainder comes from other services, including FedEx Office, which provides document production/shipping, and FedEx Logistics, which provides global forwarding. FedEx acquired Dutch parcel delivery firm TNT Express in 2016. TNT was previously the fourth-largest global parcel delivery provider.
