March 20 (Reuters) - FedEx Corp ( FDX ) lowered its
full-year revenue and profit forecast on Thursday, as the parcel
delivery firm seeks new business after its contract with its
largest customer, the United States Postal Service, ended last
year.
The company expects its full-year revenue to be flat to
slightly down year over year, compared to the prior forecast of
approximately flat.
It now expects adjusted profit to be in a range of $18.00 to
$18.60 per share, from its previous outlook of $19.00 to $20.00
each.
FedEx ( FDX ) in December announced long-awaited plans to spin off
its profitable Freight division, a move analysts said could
unlock up to $20 billion in shareholder value, while clearing
the way for FedEx ( FDX ) management to zero in on merging operations of
its separate Express and Ground units to boost profits.
Memphis-based FedEx ( FDX ) earlier in December lowered its profit
outlook for the full year ending May 2025, calling for adjusted
profit of $19 to $20 per share. That was down from its initial
target range of $20 to $22 per share.
