Jon Tetzlaff/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Investment Thesis In my last piece on FedEx Corporation ( FDX ), published in September 2025, I argued that the improvements seen in the company’s Express segment did not translate to a meaningful shift in its growth prospects. I had a SELL rating with a $200 price target with the stock trading at around $230.01 at the time. My call, admittedly, was wrong, as the stock never declined towards $200. On the contrary, it rose as high as $390. In this article, I will be explaining what went wrong with my thesis specifically since I believe that the reasons matter, especially for where the stock goes from here. In addition, in this article, I will also be analysing FDX through the lens of an event that, in my opinion, defines the company now: the spin-off of FedEx Freight, set to be effective on 01 June 2026. Post the spinoff, investors in FDX will hold both shares of the parent company (RemainCo), comprising Express and Ground, and a standalone LTL entity, FedEx Freight (henceforth referred to as SpinCo or FDXF). The aim of this FDX update is to value the two entities separately, combine them, and analyse whether the market has already priced in the spin-off or whether the spin-off still presents an opportunity for investors to benefit from. Why I Got My September 2025 Thesis Wrong My September 2025 article on FDX was centred around a claim about the trajectory of a consolidated FDX: volume deceleration, earnings growth that leaned on cost reduction and not actual demand, FY26 targets that I found to be overambitious, and a management that I viewed as overoptimistic. In reality, FDX managed to convincingly beat that claim on every front. More specifically, adjusted EPS came in at $3.83 in Q1 [6% y/y growth], $4.82 in Q2 [19% y/y growth], and $5.25 in Q3 [16% y/y growth]. Moreover, FDX management raised their guidance twice, with the latest guidance projecting an adjusted EPS in the range between $19.30 and $20.10, comfortabl...
