FedEx down big on earnings miss. Watch to see if this one can recover. Our plan has been to lighten up on equities going into earnings as the big run has made stocks vulnerable to a correction around earnings, which, by the way, we don’t think will be blockbuster.
“Our lower-than-expected results for the quarter and reduced full-year earnings outlook were driven by third quarter international revenues declining approximately $100 million versus our guidance primarily due to accelerating customer preference for lower-yielding international services, lower rate per pound and weight per shipment,” said Alan B. Graf Jr., FedEx Corp. executive vice president and chief financial officer. ”We expect these international revenue trends to continue. We have other actions under way beyond those already included in our profit improvement program. Some of these additional actions may involve temporarily or permanently grounding aircraft, which could result in asset impairment or other charges in future periods.”
