FedEx Corporation (US31428X1063) traded at EUR 261.40 on October 19, 2026, 0.53 percent below the Xetra close of October 16, 2026. The latest analyst signal came from Morgan Stanley, which maintained a Sell rating and set a USD 160.00 price target on October 8, 2026, according to Markets Insider.

Target reflects cautious sentiment

Morgan Stanley analyst Ravi Shanker retained the Sell view while assigning the USD 160.00 target. The report placed the rating in the context of FedEx's operating outlook and the cost pressures facing the transportation sector, with the target notably below the euro quotation used by German investors.

FedEx results show mixed comparison

FedEx's fourth-quarter results for the period ended May 31, 2026, provided a stronger revenue base but weaker net income. Revenue reached USD 25.01 billion versus USD 22.22 billion in the comparable quarter, while net profit was USD 1.60 billion versus USD 1.65 billion, according to Markets Insider. The revenue increase therefore did not translate into higher profit in that comparison.

What does the next report mean?

FedEx is scheduled to publish its third-quarter fiscal 2026 results after the market close on October 28, 2026. The consensus calls for earnings of USD 3.52 per share and revenue of USD 23.01 billion, as reported by El Fondo. That release will give investors a fresh test of whether revenue growth can offset margin pressure.

Three dated signals for investors

On June 23, 2026, FedEx reported fourth-quarter adjusted earnings per share of USD 6.31 and revenue of USD 25.00 billion, according to Yahoo Finance. JPMorgan then cut its target from USD 400.00 to USD 399.00 on October 5, 2026, while keeping an Overweight rating, as reported by Markets Insider. Morgan Stanley's October 8 decision was the most recent of the three.

Price stays below recent high

FedEx's quoted 52-week range was EUR 163.74 to EUR 337.70, putting the October 19 price inside that span. The stock's euro market value was EUR 61.9 billion, while its primary listing is on the NYSE under ticker FDX.

FedEx stock stood at EUR 261.40 on October 19, 2026, at 9:04 a.m. CEST on Xetra, 0.53 percent below the Xetra close of October 16, 2026 at EUR 262.80.
