FedEx stock is crashing and burning. What do you think the future will be?

Mutual funds are the giant gorillas owning a ton of stock in most blue chip companies. Very conservative strategies and will dump risky stocks in a heartbeat.
Does FedEx have A&B shares like UPS does?
Fedex News has been consistently bad for several quarters now. I’m surprised more haven’t dropped them especially with the same BS coming out of Memphis every three months.
Dodge and Cox is there biggest shareholder and they are a very conservative company.
I think so. But I’ve never held Fedex stock. As far as I’m concerned, I already have enough money tied up with them.
That's why I don't own UPS stock anymore
The only difference between the A&B shares is the voting rights. Class A gets 10 Class B gets one vote.
It will be fine

I haven’t seen any analyst story that shows Amazon actually taking any customers from FedEx or UPS. They don’t offer the service and I don’t see why companies would switch to using their direct competition to complete their final mile. The concern seems unfounded.
Amazon can't handle it's own deliveries right now. When they stop using UPS and the post office, then I'll be worried.
I don’t think that matters. Fedex has been showing itself to be poorly run and there isn’t a lot to show it has turned any corner in that regard.
UPS needs to simply cut them off. Tomorrow.
I agree 100% I know it's a huge account bit I really don't see the benefit of keeping them. They completely overload our system. We get out the door late. Late air is a huge problem and it also causes many other service failures.
And the profit margin with them sucks.
Apparently management is drinking a brown Kool-Aid. I keep hearing things like stop density. And the size and weight of some of those packages are absolutely ridiculous

You mean, without the Amazon Anchor sinking the ship, that Express (and Ground) will become leaner and more efficient, able to deliver on time. And isn't that what the customer pays for and expects?
Now if Express could just eliminate the TNT millstone.
Crazy talk!! Lol

Great article I think the strongest possibility is FedEx contracts in size rather than being bought out. No one wants to compete with Amazon and UPS.

ght now,
Dream on. Hey, whose idea was it to buy TNT anyway? It's impossible to be lean and efficient with the low-quality workforce at Express. A company is it's people, and right now, the average employee isn't very productive.

Why? Amazon has essentially copied the Ground business model. Bezos employs sub-contractors, who employ drivers, who are paid little, and the sub-contractor skims the cream off the top.
Maybe the courts will decide that Amazon drivers and subs are really "employees". Trump hates Bezos, and the courts right now could decide that Amazon is taking advantage, and that should have implications for Ground because of the duplicate structure.
Overall, I doubt that Republicans want to play with the Ground model now.

I just want to make friends!
That's awfully nice of you. It's not everyday that a guy who bought a delivery job will help out a guy like me.
