Some offer more compelling growth prospects and interesting entry points for investors than others. Let's take a look at them and try elucidate which one stands more »

  • Getting You What You Need, When You Need It

    By Nihar Patel - May 22, 2013 | Tickers: FDX, SSW, UPS

    It seems unbelievable that there can still be room to move more into a digital society, but as ubiquitous as internet shopping is there is still a lot of room to grow. Everybody uses Amazon for everything, and yet there are still a lot of brick-and-mortar stores still making profit, if only just barely. Physical goods are still going to be present in our society even if physical media is more »

  • How FedEx Stole UPS’ Thunder

    By Sarfaraz Khan - May 17, 2013 | Tickers: FDX, TNTEY, UPS

    The second largest U.S. package delivery company, FedEx (NYSE: FDX) , and the world’s largest package-delivery company, the United Parcel Service (NYSE: UPS) or UPS, have delivered contrasting results. While the former reported a rise in revenues and a sharp drop in earnings, the latter saw increasing top and bottom lines – despite the setbacks coming from the failed acquisition bid for the European package delivery giant TNT Express (NASDAQOTH: TNTEYmore »)

  • Can These Stocks Deliver profits?

    By Terry Chrisomalis - May 15, 2013 | Tickers: FDX, LEN, UPS

    When we want to ship a package there are only a few options to choose. One of those options is the United States Postal Service, or USPS; an affordable way for those people who don't need to deliver their packages quickly, and want cheaper standard shipping options. But the USPS has seen some problems in funding from the government, and people prefer to use other shipping service methods.

  • Why the Online Sales Tax Bill Is All About Logistics

    By Daniel Cawrey - May 13, 2013 | Tickers: AMZN, FDX, UPS

    The Marketplace Fairness Act is a bill that is making its rounds in Congress this year. It will give states the capability to collect sales taxes from online businesses that aren't physically in their jurisdiction. This could be a boon for state coffers, and it will likely shift the landscape of how online companies do business. 

    Amazon's stance

    With the 13F season up and running, Greenhaven Associates has kept pace with some of their colleagues and has announced their stock holdings. Although at the top of the list we see the same company, Lowe’s (NYSE: LOW), a huge boost in Southwest Airlines (NYSE: LUV) catches the eye.

  • Is United Parcel Service A Good Stock To Buy?

    By Meena Krishnamsetty - April 19, 2013 | Tickers: CHRW, EXPD, FDX, UPS, UTIW

    United Parcel Service (NYSE: UPS) is coming off of a poor 2012. While the company’s revenue edged up 2% compared to the previous year, its costs increased at a faster rate. In particular, UPS spent $33 billion on compensation and benefits for the year, up from less than $28 billion in 2011, partly due to increases in pension expenses. This was a major contributor to operating income, dropping 78 more »

  • Read This Before You Invest In Logistics

    By Madhu Dube - April 6, 2013 | Tickers: CHRW, FDX, FWRD

     Investors willing to make some money from the recovering economy can consider the logistics industry, which seems to be gaining steam. The U.S. manufacturing sector outlook is bullish for 2013, as companies expect to expand their businesses. Eventually, the logistics industry will be a direct beneficiary in this scenario. Keeping this in mind, I've picked up three stocks: CH Robinson Worldwide (NASDAQ: CHRW), FedEx (NYSE: FDX) and Forward more »

  • Be Alerted as International Express Remains Weak for FedEx

    By Nick Chiu - April 2, 2013 | Tickers: FDX, UPS

    FedEx Corporation (NYSE: FDX) is a holding company, which can be broken down into FedEx Express, offering time-certain delivery, FedEx Ground, offering small-package ground delivery services, FedEx Freight, offering less-than-truckload freight services and FedEx Services. FedEx had been lagging the market since it reported Q3, 2013 earnings on March 20, 2013 and it is beneficial for investors to understand what's happening in the global transportation market, which usually reflects more »

  • Time to Invest in This Global Bellwether?

    By Marshall Hargrave - March 30, 2013 | Tickers: FDX, PBI, UPS

    FedEx (NYSE: FDX) saw a nice pullback in its stock last week after announcing fiscal third quarter earnings, with the stock still down almost 10% since the announcement. The big news was that the transport and delivery company's earnings fell 31% year-over-year due to expenses related to a business realignment and weakness in its international segment.

    The question becomes, is it worth using the recent pullback as a chance more »

  • Deeply Worrying Results from Two Market Bellwethers

    By Daniel James - March 26, 2013 | Tickers: CAT, DE, FDX, UPS

    With the Dow at all-time highs, it’s easy to think that the world economy is doing rather well. The market has largely shrugged off the concerns surrounding the tiny-island nation of Cyprus, and seems to be continuing its drift higher. However, all is not well at all. Results released by major economic bellwethers FedEx (NYSE: FDX) and Caterpillar (NYSE: CAT) in recent days should be deeply worrying for investors more »

  • Why This Logistics Giant Is Now Playing Catch-Up

    By Lee Samaha - March 22, 2013 | Tickers: FDX, UPS

     

    By now, you've probably had your fill of FedEx’s (NYSE: FDX) latest earnings reports. The company reduced guidance, which immediately gave grounds for the bears to come out and point to weakening growth. In reality, it was a mixed report that actually said more about FedEx and its relation to patterns in the global economy. Investors are often criticized for believing that "this time it's different" but more »

  • Is a Dour Report from this Bellwether an Ominous Sign?

    By Robert Ciura - March 22, 2013 | Tickers: FDX, UPS

    U.S. freight companies are commonly viewed as bellwethers for our economy, because the volumes of packages and goods they transport are seen as indicators for the health of corporate and personal spending. The Dow Jones Transportation Average is sitting near its 52-week high, but on days in which transports fall amid an up day for the broader market, there may be cause for concern.

  • Express Shippers Will Thrive Despite Challenges

    By Ted Cooper - March 21, 2013 | Tickers: FDX, UPS

    The global market for express parcel shipping is dominated by three companies: FedEx (NYSE: FDX), United Parcel Service (NYSE: UPS), and DHL. The three companies enjoy competitive advantages due to the scale of their operations. While newcomers will continue to be a minor nuisance in fragmented markets, no other companies will be able to break into the top three.

  • FedEx Fails to Deliver

    By Diane Alter - March 20, 2013 | Tickers: FB, FDX, GRPN

    Following disappointing Q3 earnings and uninspiring guidance from FedEx (NYSE: FDX), shares tumbled more than 6%, the company's biggest fall since September 2011.

    The global courier services company’s third quarter profit slumped 31%. Net income fell to $361 million, or $1.13 per share, down from $521 million, or $1.65 per in the same quarter a year ago. That was short of analysts' expectations of $1.38 more »
