FedEx Corporation (NYSE: FDX) had a noteworthy second quarter of 2025, generating an adjusted profit increase despite an overall dip in revenue. With a view to enhancing profitability, FedEx plans to spin-off its freight division, thereby positioning itself as the top independent North American less-than-truckload (LTL) carrier, according to analysts. Furthermore, investors have been drawn to FedEx's strategic cost-saving initiatives that are presently underway. The second-quarter earnings beat expectations, with an earnings per share (EPS) of $4.05. This development pushed the FedEx stock upward, despite a previous downtrend following a revised earnings outlook.
Rating agencies have recognized these strategic moves amidst challenging economic landscape as positive, leading to an increase in FedEx's rating and raised price targets. However, some critics suggest that FedEx is revealing strategic and financial risks in its plan to spin off the FedEx Freight business. The reported average consensus from brokerages concludes that FedEx Co. currently maintains a Moderate Buy.
