Barton’s ^ | September 15, 2022 | Al Root

FedEx FDX stock was tumbling after the company doubly disappointed investors Thursday announcing weak quarterly results earlier than expected while withdrawing its full-year financial guidance.

The stock was down more the 12% in after-hours trading after FedEx (ticker: FDX) said it earned $3.44 a share from $23.2 billion in sales in its fiscal 2023 first quarter which ended in August. Wall Street was looking for $5.10 in per-share earnings from $23.5 billion in sales.

Just in 2019 they were running a 99.97% reliability rate. I know because I work regularly with FedEx Packaging Development Laboratory.

Just like a lot of business they’ve fallen off a cliff since 2020. It’s not just them, services in banking, medicine, etc. have become remarkably worse in just 2 plus years.

At work everything is delayed. We can’t get raw materials in. I’ve had a testing protocol open in MS Word on my computer waiting to be updated once everything is in. The last time it was updated was in March.

We are really screwed. I believe this is going to make the 2010-2012 real estate melt down look tame.

There are some brokers/banks/hedge funds that are highly (over) leveraged. My very humble hunch is they will be the next bubble to burst.

I’ve generally have be a somewhat risk tolerant investor/speculator, but the last several months I have been wanting staunch, ultra conservative, slow but steady growth companies that do business based on fundamentals. Guess what, that doesn’t exist.

Well, as long as the railroad union gets what it wants and the news media is happy that is all that matters.

I would rather have seen it be UPS seeing as they are the ones going after gun owners.

I live in eastern PA, recently had a package shipped FedEx from upstate NY, was supposed to arrive within a day or two, I received it over a week later after it went to Colorado for a few days. Makes sense…

I think the problem is FEDEX stinks these days. Worse than the USPS. Completely unreliable.

Not my experience. The USPS has lost two packages to be shipped to me this year, FedEx zero. I receive a lot more packages from FedEx. I’m not a cheerleader for any company and never for the government.

Fuel costs are probably the main expense pulling them down and don’t think UPS is not in the same boat.

Incorrect. Their service levels are more than 30% higher than USPS on the worst days.

> The president is an Indian and its IT department is almost all Indians.

Whenever that happens it means the board has switched from competing by price instead of innovation, and it never ends well for those who didn't have a "golden parachute" to jump out with before the transition was generally known ...
