Two Questions That Matter

The print will turn on these two things.

What will be the EPS for Q4-2026?

How is FedEx addressing operational challenges and cost management?

Understanding FedEx's strategies for managing costs will be critical in assessing its ability to maintain margins in a competitive environment.

What the Street Is Missing

Why consensus could be wrong

The Street may underestimate FedEx's ability to capitalize on e-commerce growth, which could drive stronger-than-expected revenue.

Supporting Evidence

Recent earnings surprises indicate strong operational performance.

Options pricing suggests higher volatility, reflecting potential positive outcomes.

Insider selling may not reflect overall company health, as operational metrics remain strong.

Key Risk

If FedEx reports an EPS significantly above $5.50, it could challenge the cautious outlook.

Edge

Thesis-Break Levels
