		<description><![CDATA[FedEx Corporation (FDX) is again in the lime light with acquisition plans for another European company, TATEX Express. This remarks the second big move by the company after its recent announcement to acquire Polish company Opek Sp.z o.o. Following the recent announcement of proposed acquisition of Opek Sp.z o.o, this remains the second move by the company to enter the European package delivery market. French-based TATEX Express provides courier and express transport services to industrial customers across Europe and international markets. Although the terms of the deal remain undisclosed, we expect FedEx to gain from TATEX’s proven market position. TATEX’s annual shipments come to 19 million parcels, accounting for 150 million Euros in sales revenue. Despite the looming economic crisis in the European market, acquiring European companies seem to be ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[United Parcel Services (UPS) boosted its quarterly dividend by 9.6% to 57 cents per share from 52 cents paid last year. On an annualized basis, UPS&#8217; dividend equates to $2.28 per share compared with $2.08 a year earlier. The increased dividend is payable March 7 to shareholders of record on February 21. This rise marks a three-fold increase from the introductory dividend of 17 cents per share paid in 2000 and a two-fold hike from the annual dividend paid in 2004. The move comes two weeks after the company posted outstanding fiscal 2011 earnings of $4.35 per share, up 25% from the prior year, driven by healthy US Domestic, International Packages and freight performances. UPS is committed to return cash to shareholders in the form of increased dividends and share ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[United Parcel Services (UPS), the world&#8217;s largest package delivery company, is slated to release its fourth quarter and fiscal 2011 earnings on January 31, before the opening bell. The current Zacks Consensus Estimates for the fourth quarter and fiscal 2011 are pegged at $1.26 and $4.25, respectively, representing substantial year-over-year increase of 16.23% and 19.25%. Looking at surprises, UPS posted an average positive surprise of 2.04% in the trailing four quarters. Hence, we will not be surprised if the carrier beats expectations in fourth quarter 2011, attributable to operating leverage with improved pricing and strong volume, yield improvement in the U.S. Domestic Package division andthe ramp in share buybacks. During the third quarter conference call, UPS reaffirmed its adjusted earnings guidance of $4.15 to $4.40 per share for fiscal 2011. ]]></description>

UPS expects to deliver over 120 million parcels globally during the Christmas week, representing a 6% increase from 113 million shipments in the same period last year. On average, UPS strikes business of approximately 15 million package deliveries daily but expects this to go up to 25 million in the week of Christmas. FedEx is also expected to register strong growth in its shipments in the week of Christmas. This remains evident by approximately 17 million shipments on December 12, which marked the highest one day volume ever and approximately 10% increase from last year&#8217;s highest volume in a day.

		<description><![CDATA[We are maintaining our long-term Neutral recommendation on United Parcel Services (UPS). The stock retains a Zacks #3 (Hold) Rank for the short term (1-3 months). We are cautious on the company’s top-line growth, citing weak demand, high unemployment, uncertainty surrounding government debt issues, and softness in the U.S. economy. Nevertheless, management expects that solid yield and improved pricing will fuel top-line growth. United Parcel expects to deliver healthy revenue and margin expansion, driving earnings per share above the previous peak levels. In addition, it expects to post record profits this year. Coming to the third quarter results, earnings per share were impacted by the weak Asian exports, but outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate as well as the year-ago earnings on healthy US Domestic Package as well as Supply Chain ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The shares FedEx Corporation (FDX) dropped to the lowest level since 2008 following the reduced profit outlook for fiscal 2012 (ending May 2012). The stock plunged 11% during whole day trading and closed at $66.58, down 8.17%. Concurrent with its first quarter fiscal 2012 earnings release, the world&#8217;s second-largest package delivery company slashed its fiscal 2012 earnings projection from $6.35–$6.85 to $6.25–$6.75 per share on reduced demand in the U.S. and Asia, uncertain economic growth and the recent turmoil in the financial markets. From a segmental perspective, FedEx Ground and Freight are giving healthy performances but FedEx Express is struggling. The demand for Express services, particularly from Asia, continues to decline, resulting in lower shipments of goods. This decline is far more than the synergies from yield improvement and several ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[United Parcel Services (UPS) has increased its freight rates by 6.9% on non-contractual shipments. The increase is effective August 1, in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. The company offers a variety of less-than-truckload (LTL) and truckload (TL) services to customers through its Freight segment, which remains a significant revenue contributor. The gradually improving economy is supporting the broader market and the company remains well positioned to benefit from firming industrial fundamentals and LTL industry pricing discipline. Continued focus on improving pricing signifies UPS&#8217; initiative to substantially better its earnings power over the next several years. In early 2011, the company increased its general rate by 4.9% for ground packages, air express and U.S. origin international shipments in an effort to solidify revenue generation along with yield expansion in the three ]]></description>

(MRK) to expand its distribution and logistics services. The companies did not reveal financial terms of the deal. UPS initially began this alliance in 2003 to transport Merck’s products in the U.S. In 2009, the deal was extended to distribution, storage and transportation of medicines and vaccines in North America. The new contract expands the distribution reach further to certain Asian and Latin American markets as well as emerging markets like China and Brazil. As a part of the expansion, UPS is constructing a new distribution center in China and Brazil to market Merck products.

The quarter’s earnings outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 3 cents and increased 32% from $1.33 earned in the year-ago quarter. Stronger results were aided by a higher fuel surcharge that offset the rising fuel prices. For fiscal 2011, FedEx reported adjusted earnings of $4.90 per share, up 30% from $3.76 in 2010. Total revenue climbed 12% year over year to $10.55 billion in the reported quarter and surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $10.36 billion.

The Greek vote and solid earnings report from FedEx (FDX) should help sustain the optimistic tone in the market. But the market&#8217;s focus will be on the Fed. In Greece, the reshuffled cabinet of Prime Minister George Papandreou was able to get a vote of confidence from parliament. This opens the way for the release of the next tranche of the original bailout funds approved last year. This gives the Greek government some breathing room, though they still have to enact and implement a host of tough and very unpopular austerity measures to win another round of bailout money. No surprises are expected from the ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[FedEx Corporation (FDX), the world&#8217;s second-largest package delivery company, is slated to release its fourth quarter 2011 earnings on June 22, before market opens. The current Zacks Consensus Estimate for the fourth quarter is $1.72, representing a substantial 29.35% annual growth. FedEx saw negative surprises of 0.83%, 11.45% and 1.22% in the last three quarters (first, second and third quarters, respectively). Earnings growth in the fourth quarter will likely be restricted by several cost headwinds such as higher compensation and benefits, including retirement plans and medical costs, and continued higher aircraft maintenance. However, these costs headwinds are expected to be countered by continued growth in volumes and stronger yields. At its third quarter conference call, FedEx projected adjusted earnings in the range of $1.66 to $1.83 per share for the ]]></description>

Adjusted earnings of 81 cents per share slipped by a penny but was a nickel above the year-ago earnings. Though slightly below the Zacks Consensus Estimates, the company’s guided figures for the fourth quarter and fiscal 2011 are encouraging. Third Quarter Review Lower-than-expected earnings were due to lower shipping volume and increased costs. Additionally, unusually severe winter storms during the quarter disrupted the company’s operations. Total revenue improved from the year-ago quarter and surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate driven by healthy demand and strong yield initiatives. Strong exports from Asia and Europe drove revenues in the FedEx Express segment. Package volume growth at FedEx Ground as well as FedEx SmartPost spurred FedEx Ground ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[FedEx Corporation (FDX) lowered its expectation for third quarter 2011 adjusted earnings by 25 cents per share. Severe winter storms and higher fuel prices provoked management to take this drastic step. The company was compelled to cancel several flights in the U.S. and Europe due to bad weather and unusually high costs. The last trading price of FedEx fell 1.5% following the guidance revision. FedEx expects adjusted earnings, excluding FedEx Freight combination costs, to be in the range of 70 cents to 90 cents per share for the current quarter compared with 95 cents to $1.15 guided previously. This new guidance assumes stable fuel prices and no further weather impact for the remainder of the quarter. The winter storms and higher fuel prices are also expected to dampen fiscal 2011 ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[FedEx Corporation (FDX) reported second quarter of fiscal 2011 financial results that fell below the Zacks Consensus Estimates. Quarterly adjusted EPS of $1.16 was below the Zacks Consensus Estimates of $1.31. Management cited higher fuel costs and the reinstatement of employee compensation and benefit expenditures as the primary reasons for the poor performance. Second quarter total revenue was $9,632 million. This was an improvement of 12% year over year, but well below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $9,749 million. We believe this was mainly due to slower-than-expected growth in international express deliveries. International air-shipment in some of the European countries reduced as a result of ongoing economic turmoil. GAAP net income in the reported quarter was $283 million or 89 cents per share compared to a net income of $345 ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Following the strong second quarter results, we are upgrading our recommendation to Outperform from Neutral on Expeditors International of Washington Inc. (EXPD), a provider of logistics services. Currently, the stock has a Zacks Rank of #1 (Strong Buy). Expeditors’ debt-free balance sheet, superior execution, and ability to return cash to shareholders in the form of dividends make it attractive for investment. Over the long term, we continue to expect Expeditors to outperform its competitors, given its superior business platform, limited market share and increasingly complex supply chains. The company’s second quarter earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate and the year-ago quarter level on strong airfreight and ocean shipping demand. Total revenue was $1.5 billion, up 69% year over year, driven by higher airfreight tonnage and ocean container count. Reported revenue ]]></description>

Total revenue for the quarter was $1.2 billion, up 31.6% year over year, reflecting substantial growth across business segments and geographical presence.

Though the company has suffered from the recession over the past year-plus, an improving global economy with an increase in trade in international shipping is expected to fuel growth. U.S. industrial production, which is expected to rise going forward, will drive the company’s volume growth. United Parcel Service has taken a number of steps to counter the prospect of falling revenues Incorporatedluding the consolidation of operating districts, a reduction in air segments and the elimination of certain package handling operations.

		<description><![CDATA[We are initiating our coverage on FedEx Corp. (FDX) with a Neutral recommendation. The company serves as a proxy for the economy because of the volumes and diversity of the goods shipped. Though FedEx has suffered from the recession over the last couple of years, improving global economy along with rising trade in international shipping is expected to fuel growth. Management predicts that U.S. industrial production, the main driver of the company’s volume growth, will rise in the mid-single digit range in fiscal 2011, in contrast to declines in each of the past two fiscal years. With an economic rebound, which will increase demand and volumes, we expect a firming up of pricing. FedEx recently announced a 4.9% increase for ground deliveries and a 5.95% increase for Express shipments. A ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Expeditors International of Washington Inc.’s (EXPD) fourth quarter net income of 32 cents per share was below both the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 28 cents and the year-ago earnings of 36 cents. For the full year 2009, the company’s earnings declined 19% to $1.11 per share compared to $1.37 in 2008. This compares favorably with the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.07 per share. Total revenues and operating income in the quarter were $1.2 billion and $110.4 million, down 5% and 7% year-over-year, respectively. The declines reflected lower revenue in the Ocean Freight segment, offset partially by an increase in Airfreight and Customs Brokerage and Other segment revenues. For the full year 2009, total revenue and operating income declined 27% and 19%, respectively, to $4.1 billion and $385.0 million. Operating expenses ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[United Parcel Services Inc.’s (UPS) fourth quarter operating earnings per share of 75 cents came in ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 73 cents and management’s earlier guidance of 58-65 cents. However, this was lower compared to 83 cents recorded in the prior-year quarter. Results reflected strong performance in the international segment and decreased operating expenses, which was offset by a decline in the revenues and operating margins of the U.S. domestic package and supply, chain and freight segments. Total revenue decreased 2.5% year-over-year to $12.4 billion. Total operating expenses decreased 6.5% year-over-year to $11.1 billion. Total operating profit increased 56.8% year-over-year to $1.3 billion. Total operating net income decreased 9.1% year-over-year to $757 million. Domestically, air volume increased with Next Day Air up 2.8% and deferred up 4.3%. ]]></description>

Net income was $549 million or 55 cents per share, compared to a net income of $970 million or 96 cents in the prior-year quarter. However, EPS of 55 cents was better than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 52 cents. Revenues stood at $11.2 billion, down 14.9% year over year. This was primarily due to the lower volume of parcel shipment as a result of the ongoing economic downturn. Operating profit was $929 million, down 43% year over year. Operating margin was 8.3% compared to 12.4% in the year-ago quarter. Consolidated volume of packages in the same quarter was 927 million, down 2.4% year-over-year.

Results were two pennies ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 55 cents. Results were aided by higher revenue from sourcing and trucking segments. Consolidated total revenue decreased 15.6% year-over-year to $2.0 billion, primarily due to 30.1% and 21.9% declines in the Intermodal and Ocean revenues, respectively. Total Transportation revenue declined of 0.2% to $309.8 million, primarily driven by falling market demand, reduced transportation rates and volume declines in various modes of transportation. However, transportation net revenue margin increased to 19.8% in 2009 from 15.9% in 2008 largely driven by a decline in fuel ]]></description>

The company reported earnings of $1.23 per share in the year-ago quarter. The Memphis, TN-based company also stated that fiscal second-quarter earnings is expected to range between 65 cents and 95 cents per share, which is in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 71 cents per share derived from 15 covering analysts.

		<description><![CDATA[by The Investment U Research Team While the headlines seem to point to FedEx’s (NYSE: FDX) missed profit numbers as a reason for this morning’s market decline, the real reason we’re seeing the activity that we are is that real concern has crept into traders that the rally is over. The S&#38;P is down just over 5% from it’s high last Thursday – the alarm bells traders and investors are hearing may be real. While President Obama is pushing for reform that he hopes will restore investor confidence, he might want to remember to encourage Wall Street as well. Inflation actually came out relatively tame in recent reports, and it’s highlighted the fact that our economy is picking back up as fast as anyone hoped it would.
