Fedex (FDX) Takes Flight

Fedex (FDX) turned in some pretty solid numbers and blamed softness in the US economy for the fact that they were not better.

  • Revenue of $9.15 billion, up 8% from $8.49 billion the previous year
  • Operating income of $1.01 billion, up 9% from $927 million a year ago
  • Operating margin of 11.1%, up from 10.9% the previous year
  • Net income of $610 million, up 7% from last year’s $568 million
  • Guidance for the upcoming fiscal was soft and below the company’s long term goal of 10% to 15% earnings targets.

    The company’s freight shipment business, although fairly small grew at a 28% rate.

    Shares were up modestly at just above $108.
