Evercore ISI also reduced its price target to $249, citing tariff-related uncertainties and ongoing trade headwinds. Meanwhile, JPMorgan maintained its Overweight rating and $290 price target, noting FedEx’s decision to withhold a full-year outlook due to limited visibility on trade policies. Additionally, FedEx has resumed its services to and from Israel after a suspension due to regional disruptions, implementing a demand surcharge for shipments to cover increased operational costs. These developments reflect the company’s strategic adjustments amid a volatile global trade environment.
