FedEx Faces Bigger Challenges Than Tariffs

FedEx is focusing on combining its Express and Ground networks, a complex task with significant risks.

FedEx Corp. reported a flat revenue quarter despite a freight recession, tariff war, and new rules limiting Chinese shipments. However, the stock fell after-hours due to lower-than-expected earnings-per-share forecast for the first quarter.

The company’s CEO has emphasized completing a transformation plan over the next two years, which includes merging its Express and Ground networks. This effort carries more weight than the $4 billion cost cuts promised by Raj Subramaniam, who took over as CEO in 2022.
