FedEx

FedEx pioneered overnight delivery in 1973 and remains the world's largest express package provider. In its fiscal 2024, which ended in May, FedEx derived 47% of revenue from its express division, 37% from ground, and 10% from freight, its asset-based less-than-truckload shipping segment. The remainder came from other services, including FedEx Office, which provides document production/shipping, and FedEx Logistics, which provides global forwarding. FedEx acquired Dutch parcel delivery firm TNT Express in 2016, boosting its presence across Europe. TNT was previously the fourth-largest global parcel delivery provider.

Unpacking the Latest Options Trading Trends in FedEx

Presiden-elect <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Donald Trump</a> is reportedly eyeing privatizing the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) after the agency reported a staggering $9.5 billion loss in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42454670/usps-chief-defends-plan-to-buy-more-electric-delivery-vehicles-says-wont-return-funds-without-legislation-from-congress" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">the fiscal year ending September 30</a>.
This financial setback, caused by declining mail volumes and slower-than-expected growth in parcel shipping, has drawn attention to the Postal Service&#8217;s mounting liabilities, which now total nearly $80 billion, accoeding to a report <a target="_blank" href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2024/12/14/trump-usps-privatize-plan/" rel="noreferrer noopener">by</a> The Washington Post.
Trump has expressed interest in overhauling the agency, potentially moving it into the private sector, the report read, citing people familiar with the discussions.
Trump, set to take office on January 20, has spoken about his plans to privatize the Postal Service with Howard Lutnick, his nominee for commerce secretary, during discussions at Mar-a-Lago.
Trump&#8217;s push for privatization has been discussed with key figures, including <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/elon-musk" rel="noreferrer noopener">Elon Musk</a> and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/vivek-ramaswamy" rel="noreferrer noopener">Vivek Ramaswamy</a>, both of whom are leading a non-governmental panel on government efficiency, The Washington Post reports.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/12/42484881/musk-and-ramaswamy-may-target-this-surprising-government-role-that-pays-more-than-youd-think" rel="noreferrer noopener">Musk and Ramaswamy May Target This Surprising Government Role That Pays More Than You&#8217;d Think</a>
The panel&#8217;s discussions suggest a potential shift in how essential services like the Postal Service are managed, focusing on efficiency and reducing government expenditure.
Privatizing the USPS would likely reshape the landscape of consumer shipping.
Companies like FedEx Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FDX#NYSE">FDX</a>) and United Parcel Service, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UPS#NYSE">UPS</a>) already dominate the parcel market. Privatization could narrow the scope of service, focusing on profitable routes, and leaving rural and less profitable areas underserved. This could affect millions of customers who rely on affordable, consistent mail services, particularly in regions where private carriers may not have the same reach.
The Postal Service, founded in 1775 by Benjamin Franklin, has long been a symbol of the nation&#8217;s commitment to connecting citizens. In 1970, it became a financially self-sustaining entity, tasked with binding the nation together through mail.
Despite the challenges posed by the digital age, it remains one of the most beloved federal agencies. However, with its ongoing financial struggles, the conversation about privatization has become more urgent. Trump&#8217;s plan, while still unclear, suggests a significant transformation of an institution that has served the nation for nearly 250 years, The Washington Post adds.

A Closer Look at FedEx's Options Market Dynamics

WIIM

FedEx shares are trading lower after Bernstein downgraded the stock from Outperform to Market Perform and cut its price target from $337 to $316.

U.S. stocks paused for a breather Tuesday, with major equity indices hovering near the flatline as investors digested global developments, including China&#8217;s ban on key raw material exports to the U.S. and South Korea&#8217;s political turmoil following the president&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42292488/south-korean-etfs-slide-on-presidents-emergency-martial-law-declaration-protect-the-constitutional-democratic-order">announcement of martial law</a>.
Korean-linked exchange traded funds such as the iShares MSCI South Korea ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EWY#NYSE">EWY</a>) fell by 2.7%, recovering some ground from sharper morning losses. 
By midday trading in New York, large-cap stocks remained mostly unchanged, while small-cap stocks underperformed, posting notable losses.
Sectors traded within narrow ranges, with energy and communication services showing slight outperformance.
Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) stood out, as its shares climbed by 2.1%, setting fresh all-time highs. 
In economic news, U.S. job openings rose to 7.744 million in October, exceeding expectations of 7.48 million and improving from September&#8217;s 7.372 million reading. The data signals ongoing resilience in the labor market, ahead of the highly awaited November jobs report scheduled for Friday.
The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) edged down 0.2%, reversing part of Monday&#8217;s 0.6% rally. Meanwhile, Treasury yields showed little movement, with the 10-year yield inching up 1 basis point to 4.20%.
Precious metals saw modest gains, with gold rising 0.3% and silver advancing 1.7%.
Oil prices surged 2% after OPEC+ confirmed an extension of production cuts. Additionally, the U.S. imposed sanctions on 35 entities and vessels linked to illicit Iranian oil shipments, further supporting crude prices.
In the cryptocurrency market, sentiment remained subdued. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) traded steadily around $95,900, while Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) and Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) fell by 1.9% and 4.3%, respectively.

<h2>Get to Know FedEx Better</h2>
FedEx pioneered overnight delivery in 1973 and remains the world's largest express package provider. In its fiscal 2024, which ended in May, FedEx derived 47% of revenue from its express division, 37% from ground, and 10% from freight, its asset-based less-than-truckload shipping segment. The remainder came from other services, including FedEx Office, which provides document production/shipping, and FedEx Logistics, which provides global forwarding. FedEx acquired Dutch parcel delivery firm TNT Express in 2016, boosting its presence across Europe. TNT was previously the fourth-largest global parcel delivery provider.
<h3>Breaking Down FedEx's Financial Performance</h3>

Return on Equity (ROE): FedEx's ROE is below industry standards, pointing towards difficulties in efficiently utilizing equity capital. With an ROE of 2.9%, the company may encounter challenges in delivering satisfactory returns for shareholders.
Return on Assets (ROA): The company's ROA is a standout performer, exceeding industry averages. With an impressive ROA of 0.91%, the company showcases effective utilization of assets.

<h2>What Are Analyst Ratings?</h2>
Analyst ratings serve as essential indicators of stock performance, provided by experts in banking and financial systems. These specialists diligently analyze company financial statements, participate in conference calls, and engage with insiders to generate quarterly ratings for individual stocks.
Analysts may supplement their ratings with predictions for metrics like growth estimates, earnings, and revenue, offering investors a more comprehensive outlook. However, investors should be mindful that analysts, like any human, can have subjective perspectives influencing their forecasts.

Behind the Scenes of FedEx's Latest Options Trends

EVTV

Reported Wednesday, Envirotech Vehicles Delivers Electric Vans To FedEx Partners, Promising Cost Savings And Zero Emissions

The commercial aerospace sector is gaining altitude, driven by surging demand for passenger travel, robust freight activity, and a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/expert-ideas">resurgence in aircraft orders</a>.
According to Goldman Sachs analyst Noah Poponak, CFA, air traffic recovery is exceeding expectations, with growth now outpacing GDP by more than double. 
The sector&#8217;s strong fundamentals, buoyed by tight supply chains and rising aftermarket revenues, are positioning key aerospace stocks for a significant takeoff.
Here&#8217;s what you need to know — and the top stocks analysts say you should have on your radar.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Air Traffic Surpasses Pre-Pandemic Levels</h3>
&#8220;The overall commercial aerospace market is fundamentally strong,&#8221; said Poponak in a note Thursday. 
Global passenger traffic continues its remarkable climb as international air traffic jumped 9% year-over-year (yoy) in September, following an 11% yoy increase in August, according to the International Air Transport Association (IATA). Passenger capacity rose in lockstep, up 9% and 10% yoy, respectively.
Goldman Sachs forecasts another 9% yoy gain for October based on airline reports. 
Forward airline schedules indicate that global passenger capacity will grow by 6% to 7% year-over-year through November, December, and January, reflecting sustained demand as travel appetite remains strong.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Freight Market Delivers Double-Digit Growth</h3>
The recovery isn't limited to passengers. International freight traffic surged 11% yoy in September, following a 12% yoy gain in August, with freight capacity expanding by 8% yoy in both months. 
Major cargo players FedEx Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FDX#NYSE">FDX</a>) and United Parcel Service Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UPS#NYSE">UPS</a>) also saw gains, with UPS reporting 11% yoy growth and FedEx posting a 3% yoy increase in global air cargo traffic.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Boeing, Airbus Rack Up Orders</h3>
Large commercial jet manufacturers are riding the wave of demand. In October alone, Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) secured 63 new orders, while Airbus SE (OTCPK: EADSY) booked 82 aircraft orders—both with zero cancellations. 
&#8220;New aircraft order campaigning activity appears to remain robust, for both growth and replacement,&#8221; Poponak wrote. 
Parked aircraft, which currently make up 11.8% of the total global fleet, remained flat month-over-month, further reflecting high utilization levels as airlines capitalize on the recovery in passenger and freight traffic.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Goldman Sachs' Top Stock Picks</h3>
Goldman Sachs&#8217; Poponak highlighted 11 buy-rated stocks that stand to benefit from the industry's resurgence. These include large aircraft manufacturers, component suppliers, and business jet producers.

Smart Money Is Betting Big In FDX Options

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) CEO Tim Cook's approach to building a relationship with Donald Trump during his presidency reportedly gave Cupertino unique advantages over competitors. Other tech leaders may now be taking notes.
What Happened: A <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/elections/tim-cook-ceo-trump-relationship-ad106f36">report</a> by The Wall Street Journal highlights how Cook navigated Trump's administration with a direct, focused strategy.
Cook often bypassed lobbyists and government relations executives, opting instead for one-on-one meetings and phone calls with Trump.
He would focus on singular, data-driven points in discussions to influence policy in Apple's favor.
This approach reportedly helped Apple avoid some of the harsher impacts of Trump's trade tariffs in 2019 and positioned the company to benefit from the administration's 2017 tax reforms.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/treasuries/24/11/42157400/economist-peter-schiff-criticizes-trumps-treasury-pick-scott-bessent-says-he-will-have-to-find-buyers-for-trillions-in-new-debt-each-year-his-job-is-to-continue-the-ponzi">Economist Peter Schiff Criticizes Trump&#8217;s Treasury Pick, Scott Bessent, Says He Will Have To Find Buyers For Trillions In New Debt Each Year</a>
Cook also strategically aligned Apple's interests with Trump's agenda, ensuring mutual benefits. For instance, he didn't refute Trump's claim of credit for an Austin manufacturing plant that was neither new nor owned by Apple.
The report noted that doing so allowed Trump to appear successful while maintaining Apple's goodwill.
Leaders of other major companies, including Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) CEO Sundar Pichai and Meta Platforms, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) Mark Zuckerberg are reportedly employing similar strategies.
According to the report, executives from Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) and FedEx Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FDX#NYSE">FDX</a>) have also attempted direct communication with Trump.
Meanwhile, some have reportedly explored leveraging connections through the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a role Trump assigned to Elon Musk after the Tesla Inc. CEO&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/11/42157649/trumps-doge-co-lead-elon-musk-slams-lockheed-martins-f-35-fighter-jets-advocates-drone-warfare-as-pentagon-defends-1-8-trillion-program">vocal support for his campaign</a>.
Why It Matters: Trump previously said that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41351251/trump-says-google-has-a-lot-of-power-but-stops-short-of-endorsing-a-break-up">Pichai updated him</a> on trending Google searches and Zuckerberg praised his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40785288/did-mark-zuckerberg-really-say-no-way-i-can-vote-for-a-democrat-in-this-election-to-trump">response to an assassination attempt</a>, showing their efforts to establish rapport.
Since Trump&#8217;s victory in the 2024 U.S. Presidential election, both the stock market and the cryptocurrency sector have experienced significant growth.
The S&amp;P 500 has increased by 3.22%, rising from 5,782 on Nov. 5 to 5,969 as of Friday&#8217;s close. The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) which tracks the S&amp;P 500 Index has had a similar momentum since Trump&#8217;s victory, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.
During the same period, NASDAQ has risen 2.71% to reach 20,776.23. The Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) which tracks the performance of the Nasdaq-100 Index gained 2.75%.
On the other hand, the overall market cap of the cryptocurrency sector has risen to $3.37 trillion, up 44.63% from $2.33 trillion on Nov. 5.
