FedEx

FedEx pioneered overnight delivery in 1973 and remains the world's largest express package provider. In its fiscal 2024, which ended in May, FedEx derived 47% of revenue from its express division, 37% from ground, and 10% from freight, its asset-based less-than-truckload shipping segment. The remainder came 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, boosting its presence across Europe. TNT was previously the fourth-largest global parcel delivery provider.

화요일에 페덱스(NYSE:FDX)의 주식이 1% 상승 마감했다. 하지만 이 주식은 12월 19일 회사가 실적 발표 후 화물 부문을 분리할 계획을 발표한 후 시작된 하락세를 계속 이어가고 있다. 페덱스 차트에서는 트레이더들이 &#34;나쁜 행동(bad action)&#34;이라고 부르는 전형적인 사례들이 보인다. 이러한 이유로 우리 기술 분석 팀이 오늘의 주식으로 선택했다.

Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, as well as an advisor to President Donald Trump, has put forth a proposal for the privatization of the U.S. Postal Service and Amtrak.
What Happened:  During a Morgan Stanley conference on Wednesday, Musk stated, &#8220;I think logically we should privatize anything that can reasonably be privatized,&#8221; as per Reuters, acknowledging that such measures would require congressional approval.
Despite&nbsp;posting a profit of $144&nbsp;million in the fourth quarter, the Postal Service has been grappling with financial woes, having lost over $100 billion since 2007. In contrast, Amtrak has experienced a revival in ridership, exceeding pre-COVID-19 levels in 2024.&nbsp;However, for the 12 months ending September 30, the rail operator reported an adjusted operating loss of $705 million, reflecting a 9% decline compared to 2023.
Musk drew a comparison between Amtrak and Chinese high-speed rail, describing the former as a &#8220;..a sad situation&#8230; It will leave you with a very bad impression of America.&#8221; In response, Amtrak asserted that its &#8220;business performance is strong&#8221; and that it is on the path to achieving operational profitability

Why It Matters: Musk&#8217;s proposal to privatize these entities aligns with that of President Trump. He had floated the idea of privatizing the postal department even in his first term. Also, last month, Trump expressed his desire to merge&nbsp;the Postal Service and the&nbsp;U.S. Commerce Department, a suggestion that has been met with opposition from Democrats who argue it would be a violation of federal law. 
"It's a lot different today, between Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) and UPS (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UPS#NYSE">UPS</a>) and FedEx (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FDX#NYSE">FDX</a>) and all the things that you didn&#8217;t have. But there is talk about that. It&#8217;s an idea that a lot of people have liked for a long time," Trump had stated in December.
Musk&#8217;s comments come amid a backdrop of sweeping federal workforce cuts by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The DOGE has been mired in controversy since the beginning and its layoff actions have met with mixed responses, mostly criticism.
Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) co-founder Steve Wozniak criticized DOGE&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44160018/apple-co-founder-steve-wozniak-blasts-doges-mass-firings-says-musk-led-cuts-are-like-using-a-sledgehammer-instead-of-a-scalpel">mass layoffs</a>, describing them as a &#8220;reckless strategy that lacks precision.&#8221; On the other hand, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon supported DOGE&#8217;s mission to eliminate wasteful spending and streamline processes.

Soros Fund Management Reports Share Stake Of 29,500 Shares In FedEx

FedEx's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FDX#NYSE">FDX</a>) short percent of float has fallen 8.02% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 3.29 million shares sold short, which is 1.49% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.95 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for FedEx has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing FedEx's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, FedEx's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 3.17%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

(FDX) - Analyzing FedEx's Short Interest

American shoppers and small businesses are feeling the immediate impact of new tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump, which removed the long-standing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/02/43423781/trumps-trade-tariffs-to-close-e-commerce-loophole-favoring-chinese-online-retailers">$800 duty-free exemption</a> for low-cost imports from China. A few days after the change was implemented, customers who ordered from websites like Shein, Temu, and I.Am.Gia started receiving unexpected import duty notices from shipping firms, including United Parcel Service (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UPS#NYSE">UPS</a>) and DHL, often totaling nearly as much as the items themselves.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Surprise Fees on Low-Cost Orders</h2>
Many shoppers who were used to buying inexpensive clothing and household items from Chinese retailers are now being asked to pay additional duties and handling fees before receiving their packages. Some of these charges range from $20 to over $50, with DHL and UPS requiring payment within days or threatening to return the packages to the sender.

</ul>
For instance, <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/retail-consumer/trumps-tariffs-china-bite-us-bargain-hunting-online-shoppers-2025-02-06/">Reuters reported</a> that a college student who ordered a $65 top from Australian brand I.Am.Gia was shocked to find a $45 import duty notice from DHL. Her father initially suspected it was a scam before realizing the fees were real. Another shopper was told to pay nearly $40 in additional fees for a $197 Shein order. Many others have shared similar experiences on social media, according to news outlets.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Small Businesses Hit Hard</h2>
<a href="https://www.wired.com/story/tariffs-china-prices-fees-shein-temu/">According to Wired</a>, the tariffs have also created chaos for small businesses that rely on Chinese suppliers or ship products across borders. Leslie Brown, who runs a secondhand clothing business in Canada, said she's stuck with $30,000 worth of inventory she can't move across the U.S. border due to the sudden tariff hike. Similarly, Miguel Schraeder, who sells board game accessories, saw his U.S. customers slapped with unexpected import duties, sometimes exceeding the value of the products themselves.

Some small business owners have temporarily halted U.S. sales, unable to absorb or pass on the costs to customers. Meanwhile, logistics carriers like DHL Hong Kong and the Hongkong Post have announced they will stop accepting individual packages bound for the U.S. due to the new trade rules, according to media reports.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Shipping Companies Slow to Clarify Policies</h2>
Because of the abrupt enforcement of the tariffs, major couriers have been slow to provide clear policies on fees and procedures. The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/02/43504848/usps-resumes-accepting-china-shipments-amid-new-tariffs">U.S. Postal Service briefly suspended</a> all package deliveries from China and Hong Kong before reversing course. UPS has warned of potential delays and removed its service guarantee for packages coming from China, while FedEx (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FDX#NYSE">FDX</a>) has not made a public statement on new fees or delays.
Some retailers, like Qwertykeys, have paused their shipments altogether, as DHL is now requiring a 50% tariff deposit plus a $21 processing fee per package.

<h3>About FedEx</h3>
FedEx pioneered overnight delivery in 1973 and remains the world's largest express package provider. In its fiscal 2024, which ended in May, FedEx derived 47% of revenue from its express division, 37% from ground, and 10% from freight, its asset-based less-than-truckload shipping segment. The remainder came 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, boosting its presence across Europe. TNT was previously the fourth-largest global parcel delivery provider.
In light of the recent options history for FedEx, it's now appropriate to focus on the company itself. We aim to explore its current performance.

Unpacking the Latest Options Trading Trends in FedEx

ABC Reporter Selina Wang Posts On X "President Trump Is Meeting With The Leaders Of U.S. Steel And FedEx Today, Sources Familiar With The Matter Tell Me & ABC. U.S. Steel Has Called On Trump To Reverse Biden's Decision To Block Nippon Steel Takeover. But Trump Vowed To Block The Merger On The Campaign Trail."

The U.S. Postal Service has resumed accepting packages from China after a brief pause. While the suspension was short-lived, it came in the midst of broader trade tensions, including new <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43493607/chinese-stocks-sink-as-trump-eyes-more-tariffs-and-tougher-trade-restrictions">tariffs</a> that could have ripple effects on companies like United Parcel Service, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UPS#NYSE">UPS</a>) and FedEx Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FDX#NYSE">FDX</a>).
What To Know: The Postal Service halted accepting parcels from China amid President Donald Trump&#8217;s implementation of an additional 10% tariff on Chinese imports. The Trump administration also closed a loophole that let companies avoid tariffs on packages worth less than $800 when shipped directly to U.S. consumers, according to <a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/logistics/u-s-postal-service-suspends-shipments-of-china-parcels-bf6239f3?mod=hp_lead_pos10">The Wall Street Journal</a>.
Use of the loophole has surged in recent years as orders from companies such as Shein and Temu have grown in popularity. In the 2024 fiscal year alone, approximately 1.36 billion shipments entered the U.S. through this exemption.
The Postal Service stated on Wednesday that it is collaborating with Customs and Border Protection to develop &#8220;an efficient collection mechanism for the new China tariffs&#8221; to minimize disruptions to package deliveries.
Now that USPS has resumed accepting packages from China, investors might anticipate less business shifting to UPS and FedEx. However, the ongoing trade tensions and tariff changes may still impact investor sentiment regarding logistics-tied stocks.

FedEx Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FDX#NYSE">FDX</a>) stock is trading lower on Thursday in sympathy with United Postal Service (UPS), which fell after it reported 2024 fiscal-year <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43335015/ups-q4-earnings-major-customer-volume-cut-raises-jitters-stock-tanks">fourth-quarter earnings. </a>
UPS reported revenue of $25.30 billion, missing analysts estimate of $25.41 billion. In addition, the company reported adjusted earnings per share of $2.75, beating analysts estimate of $2.53.
Additionally, UPS reported an operating profit of $8.5 billion and an operating margin of 9.3%. The company reported cash from operations of $10.1 billion.
UPS announced it will reduce its volume with its largest customer by over 50% before the second half of 2026. The company announced this as part of a series of strategic actions it is implementing.
&#8220;We are making business and operational changes that, along with the foundational changes we&#8217;ve already made, will put us further down the path to becoming a more profitable, agile and differentiated UPS that is growing in the best parts of the market,&#8221; said Carol Tomé, CEO of UPS.
FedEx may be trading lower in sympathy with UPS, as investors might see this as an indication of broader industry challenges. This could include weaker demand or pricing pressures that may affect FedEx as well.
