FedEx has shown strong growth in recent months, rallying significantly due to positive forecasts and management efficiency. Despite a recent decline attributed to geopolitical events like the Iran war, many analysts believe the company is well-positioned to capitalize on disruptions, especially in the air freight sector. FedEx's recent earnings report exceeded expectations, citing increased revenues and improved operating margins, solidifying confidence in its trajectory. Additionally, plans for a spin-off of its freight business are seen as a potential value unlock. Overall, the company trades at a relatively low PE ratio, suggesting continued growth potential despite faced challenges like tariffs and market fluctuations.
Based on analyst Larry Williams' true seasonal index He likes this and UPS, both of which are essential to the stay-at-home economy. Williams says retail falters around now, mid-December through mid-January.

FDX vs. UPS If you believe we're headed into a new economic cycle, transportation is a great place to be. UPS and FDX are the most obvious beneficiaries of the move to online shopping and logistics.

A recession in a year It benefits from more online shopping. Also look at Cargojet. We're in a recession right now. What if the government hadn't offered CERB and similar assistance in the US. Will this government assistance continue? Probably yes, or else we would be in a depressing situation. OIl, gold and real estate will be pressured near-term, but in a few years will take off. Expect inflation down the line with all the money that's being printed during Covid assistance.
