FedEx stock (ISIN US31428X1063) was last at USD 288.36 on the NYSE on October 6, 2026, down 0.27 percent, with 302,577 shares traded by 11:42 a.m. ET. The latest strategic signal is the completed USD 1.4 billion sale of FedEx Supply Chain, which sharpens the company's focus on parcel delivery and freight.

USD 1.4 billion sale changes the mix

MarketBeat reported on October 2, 2026, that FedEx completed the sale to CMA CGM Group. The transaction brings USD 1.4 billion in proceeds, but it also removes a business whose future revenue and earnings would otherwise remain inside the group.

The portfolio change matters because FedEx is entering its first reporting period after the Freight separation. The narrower structure gives investors a cleaner view of express and parcel operations, while execution and capital spending remain central variables.

Revenue grew as EPS declined

In Q4 FY2026, revenue increased 12.6 percent year over year to USD 25.01 billion from USD 22.22 billion, while EPS declined 2.6 percent to USD 6.64 from USD 6.82. SageNoodle reported that the quarter ended May 31, 2026, also brought a 190-basis-point contraction in the pretax margin to 6.2 percent.

That combination sets a clear test for the next report: FedEx must convert revenue growth into stronger per-share earnings while the post-separation structure takes shape. TIKR said the next report covers June through September and is scheduled for October 28, 2026, after the close.

JPMorgan trims target to USD 399

MarketBeat reported on October 5, 2026, that JPMorgan lowered its FedEx target from USD 400 to USD 399 while maintaining an Overweight rating. The new target lies 38.4 percent above the USD 288.36 NYSE price.

The broader consensus is less aggressive than JPMorgan's individual target. MarketBeat reported a Moderate Buy rating from 29 analysts and an average 12-month target of USD 354.72, which lies 23.0 percent above the October 6 price.

FedEx stock remains below its yearly high

The NYSE quote was 16.5 percent below its 52-week high of USD 345.37 and 59.4 percent above its low of USD 180.87 on October 6, 2026. For investors, the October 28 report is the next quantified test of whether the sharper business focus can support earnings conversion.
