In other recent news, FedEx has made significant strategic decisions, including the spin-off of its Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) division, a move that Stifel and other firms believe could unlock substantial value. Despite the company’s earnings not meeting all estimates, FedEx maintains solid fundamentals with a P/E ratio of 16.9x and an EBITDA of $10.9 billion in the last twelve months. The company revised its annual EPS guidance downward, prompting 10 analysts to revise their earnings estimates downward for the upcoming period.

Several financial firms have adjusted their targets for FedEx following these developments. Stifel raised its FedEx target to $368, maintaining a buy rating. TD Cowen raised its target to $337, BMO Capital to $330, and Bernstein SocGen Group modestly increased FedEx’s target to $320. On the other hand, Stephens reduced its FedEx target to $345, but maintained an overweight rating.

Loop Capital upgraded FedEx to Buy, significantly raising the target to $365, factoring in operational efficiencies and anticipated benefits from the LTL Freight business spinoff. These recent developments provide investors with a snapshot of the changing landscape for FedEx.
