But deliveries have taken a hit since then, and households\u2019 increasing focus on services instead of goods hasn\u2019t helped matters. That\u2019s got the logistics giant zeroing in on what it can control: costs. See, the company\u2019s made good progress on its $4 billion cost-cutting plan \u2013 closing offices, cutting flights, and nixing Sunday deliveries in far-off areas. It\u2019s also upped its pricing game, with the biggest hike in FedEx history earlier this year. That helped the firm rake in more cash per package in every segment last quarter. So even though FedEx didn\u2019t quite hit its revenue goals, it still managed to shoot past profit expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-should-i-care\">Why should I care?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>For markets:&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong><em>Not mailing it in.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FedEx has a good feeling about its future, with some more cost cuts in the cards and a hunch that deliveries will pick up too. That could be why its annual profit forecast was way stronger than expected. And if the firm plays its cards right, it could even start threatening its less bloated rival UPS \u2013 whose profit margins tend to be much higher on the whole. Investors are backing FedEx anyway: its stock has outperformed UPS\u2019s by 19%, and the S&amp;P 500 by 24%, so far this year.<br><strong><br><em>Zooming out:&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong><em>Feeling a-freight.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FedEx is clearly making strides in some areas, but logistics demand is weak right now, and that\u2019s unlikely to change much until the economic outlook does. Uber\u2019s also feeling the pinch: rumor has it the firm\u2019s thinking about&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/uk.news.yahoo.com\/uber-considering-spinning-off-freight-211946957.html\">selling<\/a>&nbsp;off its freight logistics division, a move that would actually make a lot of sense. After all, auctioning off that sideshow would let Uber concentrate on ride-hailing and food delivery \u2013 its real flywheel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Originally Posted March 17, 2023
