What's Going On With FedEx Stock Ahead Of Q3 Earnings?
Mar 19, 2026 8:28 AM

FedEx Corp ( FDX ) is set to report fiscal third-quarter results after the bell Thursday, with Wall Street looking for another solid quarter from the parcel and logistics giant as investors gauge what the numbers say about industrial activity, consumer shipping demand and corporate confidence more broadly.

Here’s what investors need to know.

FedEx ( FDX ) stock is showing positive momentum. What’s ahead for FDX stock?

FedEx Guidance Outlook Could Be The Bigger Story This Quarter

Analysts are expecting revenue of about $23.52 billion, up from $22.20 billion a year earlier, while earnings are projected at $4.13 per share versus $4.51 last year. The company has topped revenue estimates in four straight quarters and beaten EPS expectations in each of the last three.

Beyond the headline numbers, the more interesting story may be management's tone on guidance. FedEx ( FDX ) used its recent investor day to spotlight premium-service growth, artificial intelligence initiatives and a long-range goal of roughly $98 billion in revenue by 2029, so investors will be listening for evidence that those ambitions are beginning to show up in day-to-day execution.

Key FedEx Pressure Points: Tariffs, InPost Deal

A few pressure points could shape the reaction. One is the company's lawsuit seeking a refund on tariffs it says it was forced to pay, an issue that could matter if executives quantify any potential benefit. Another is the pending InPost acquisition and whether management offers fresh detail on integration plans.

Investors will also want clues on the planned June 1 FedEx Freight spinoff, including margin outlook, capital allocation and whether a strong quarter could lead to another guidance reset.

FedEx Momentum Cools As RSI Drops Into The Mid-40s

FedEx's ( FDX ) RSI has mostly hovered in the neutral-to-overbought range over the past year, with several strong momentum periods pushing above 70.

Recently, the indicator has dropped sharply back toward the mid-40s, signaling cooling momentum after an extended overbought stretch.

FedEx ( FDX ) Analyst Consensus And Price Target Outlook

Analyst Consensus & Recent Actions: The stock carries a Buy Rating with an average price target of $356.78. Recent analyst moves include:

JP Morgan: Neutral (Raises Target to $424.00) (Mar. 10)

Evercore ISI Group: In-Line (Raises Target to $380.00) (Feb. 24)
