Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Logistics Analyst Lee Klaskow breaks down FedEx shares falling on Friday after the parcel delivery company lowered its full-year guidance for a third consecutive quarter, citing inflation and uncertain demand for shipments.
Adjusted earnings are now expected to be in the range of $18 to $18.60 per share this fiscal year, below the $18.95 average analyst estimate. FedEx also cautioned that revenue may be slightly down versus the prior year, compared to its previous expectation that sales would be roughly flat.
FedEx is the latest US company to sound the alarm amid weakening consumer confidence and potential fallout from President Donald Trump’s escalating trade war. The parcel company, considered an economic bellwether because of its exposure to a broad swath of the global economy, said its latest outlook assumes the global economic, political and trade environment doesn’t worsen any further.
