The good news for FDX stock starts with its adjusted earnings per share of $6.87. That’s a major win over the $5.2 0 per share that Wall Street was expecting for the period. It’s also a strong increase from the $5.01 reported during the same time last year.
Another highlight from the FedEx earnings report is revenue of $24.4 billion. Yet again, that trumps the $23.62 billion that analysts were looking for during the quarter. It’s also an increase over the $22.6 billion reported during the same period of the year prior.
FedEx also includes an outlook for fiscal 2023 in its most recent earnings report. It notes that it can’t properly estimate mark-to-market (MTM) retirement plans accounting adjustments for the year. Not including that cost, it expects adjusted EPS to range from $22.50 to $24.50. For comparison, Wall Street is estimating an adjusted EPS of $22.39 for 2023.
Raj Subramaniam, president and CEO of FedEx, said this in the earnings report.
“Our foundational investments have set the stage for a strong fiscal 2023. As we move forward, our focus will be on revenue quality and lowering our cost to serve. I am honored to lead our dedicated global team who enable FedEx to lead the industry from a position of strength.”
FDX stock is seeing heavy trading with today’s news. This has some 2.7 million shares moving, as compared to its daily average trading volume of about 2.5 million shares.
FDX stock is up 8.8% as of Friday morning.
