This morning FedEx reported earnings. The company reported $2.53 of EPS on $17.4B in revenue, which beat consensus estimates of $1.52 on $16.4B of revenue. FedEx U.S. residential volume was 72% for Q4 versus 56% from last year. Residential volume is less profitable for FedEx as compared to business volume given the additional mileage required to deliver shipments. The company did note that business-to-business shipments were starting to show signs of recovery. At 1:30 PM ET, the stock is up over 12% on the trading day. Let’s review our weekly cycle analysis.
