FedEx Stock Jumps After Spinoff News -- WSJ

Dow Jones12-20 17:21

By Esther Fung and Connor Hart

FedEx shares rose in off-hours trading after the delivery company said it would spin off its freight-trucking division as a separate public entity.

The move by the Memphis, Tenn., company aims to streamline its structure and unlock value that some shareholders argue has been lost. Here are some details on the unit:

-- FedEx Freight is the U.S.'s largest less-than-truckload operator. It has more than 30,000 vehicles and 350 facilities in North America that move cargo for retailers, manufacturers and other shippers.

-- The division has annual revenue of more than $9 billion. Some analysts have estimated the unit could be worth much more as a standalone public company.

-- FedEx aims to complete the deal within 18 months.

FedEx also cut its annual outlook and posted mixed quarterly results. Chief Executive Raj Subramaniam said the results were hurt by continued weak demand in the U.S., and the end of its contract with the U.S. Postal Service.
