The US delivery services company FedEx Corp ( NYSE:FDX ) shares on Monday bounced off the 100-day moving average to surge above $293.00 per share. FedEx shares had fallen nearly 10% in the six weeks ending 18th June. The accelerated decline occurred after rival United Parcel Services Inc. ( NYSE:UPS ) cautioned investors over being overoptimistic about the post-covid recovery.
There is doubt about the delivery services industry’s post-covid outlook. Companies benefited from vaccine deliveries, but as more people become fully vaccinated, revenue from this stream will decline.
