FedEx Corporation (FDX) is a transportation, e-commerce, and logistics company that provides express shipping, freight transportation, supply chain management, and business services to customers worldwide. The company operates through major divisions such as Federal Express and FedEx Freight, serving businesses and customers headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee. FedEx has a market cap of about $84.7 billion.
Companies valued at $10 billion or more are typically described as “large-cap stocks,” and FDX fits right into that category as its market cap exceeds that threshold, reflecting its significant size, influence and dominance in the integrated shipping and logistics industry. The company plays an important role in international trade with the world’s largest air and ground delivery network.
FDX is down 8.6% from its 52-week high of $392.86, reached on February 27. Over the past three months, the FDX has gained 30.9%, outperforming the Dow Jones Industrial Average ($DOWI)’s slight decline over the same time frame.
Additionally, the company’s shares have grown 24.3% on a YTD basis and are up 43.8% over the past 52 weeks, outpacing the DOWI’s YTD decline of 1.2% and 11.6% return over the past year.
Confirming the bullish trend, FDX has been trading above its 50-day and 200-day moving averages since mid-October 2025.
FedEx Corp. stock rose in 2026 primarily due to stronger-than-expected earnings, improved guidance, and ongoing cost-cutting initiatives that boosted profitability. In Q2 of fiscal 2026, the company reported adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $4.82, up 19% year-over-year (YOY) and better than analyst estimates, on revenue of $23.5 billion, up 6.8% YOY.
FedEx also raised its fiscal year outlook, suggesting revenue growth of 5% to 6% and adjusted EPS of around $17.80 to $19, which improved investor confidence. Continued efficiency efforts, such as the Network 2.0 transformation and construction cost reductions, are also helping to expand margins and support the stock’s upward movement.
FDX’s competitor, United Parcel Service, Inc. (UPS) Shares have lagged the stock, up 3.2% on a YTD basis but down 15.1% over the past 52 weeks.
