For the second quarter ending Nov. 30, the company expects to earn $1.45 to $1.55 per share, compared with a previous forecast of $1.60 to $1.75 per share. For the fiscal year ending in May, the company forecast earnings of $6.40 to $6.70 per share, down from a prior range of $6.70 to $7.10 per share. Analysts polled by Thomson Financial had expected the company to earn $1.71 per share for the quarter and $6.87 per share for the year. Fed Ex shares sank $4.77 to $96.60 in morning trading Friday after sinking to a 52-week low of $96.10 earlier.
