On June 25, FedEx rose 3.04% in regular trading, trading at $326.48/share, with turnover of $151 million. The rebound comes after the stock declined approximately 6% following its Q4 earnings release the prior session.
On the news front, FedEx announced cash tender offers for notes with an aggregate purchase price of up to $4.15 billion, covering maturities ranging from 2028 to 2065. The debt buyback is directly tied to the June 1 spinoff of FedEx Freight, which paid FedEx a cash dividend of approximately $4.1 billion. The company is using these proceeds together with cash on hand to fund the repurchase. The move is expected to optimize FedEx's balance sheet structure and reduce long-term interest expenses.
Meanwhile, multiple analysts adjusted price targets following the Q4 report — Bernstein lowered to $397 while maintaining Outperform, and Oppenheimer noted solid momentum expectations supported by pricing gains and higher export volumes. Within the Air Freight and Logistics sector, United Parcel Service rose 2.59% and C.H. Robinson gained 2.11%.
