Portfolio Pulse from Upwallstreet
FedEx Corporation (FDX) reported a positive earnings surprise, with a 32% YoY improvement in net income, despite a drop in revenue. The company benefited from customer shifts from United Parcel Service Inc (UPS) and the bankruptcy of Yellow Corporation (YELLQ). FedEx's Ground unit saw a significant increase in daily packages, and its Express business reported an 18% operating profit gain. However, the company faces macro headwinds, including deflating demand and global recession fears.
