		<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[This morning’s economic data is giving investors the clearest possible evidence of divergence in global economic growth outlook, with the U.S. economy decoupling from Europe and China. We have another better-than-expected read on Initial Jobless Claims in the U.S., while readings of the manufacturing sector in China and Europe show contraction. The surprise factor in the European slowdown is limited since that region is widely believed to be already in a recession, but I suspect that today’s soft Chinese manufacturing data will remain front and center and trump the favorable domestic labor market report. The preliminary Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) for March created by HSBC Bank (HBC) shows a slippage from last month’s level. The index dropped to 48.1 in March from February’s 49.6, both below the critical 50 level ]]></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>

		<description><![CDATA[This looks like a holly jolly time for package delivery companies. The holidays are bustling for both FedEx Corporation (FDX) and United Parcel Service Inc. (UPS). 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. The company believes the ]]></description>

		<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>

Additionally, investors refrained from betting big bucks as they await significant reports this week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) gained 0.5% to settle at 12,626.02. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) moved up 0.1% to finish the day at 1,339.22. The Nasdaq Composite Index closed at 2,834.02, after gaining 0.3%. Investors continued to adopt a wait-and-watch attitude as trading volumes remained significantly low. On the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), AMEX and Nasdaq, consolidated volumes were 5.98 billion, compared to last year&#8217;s daily average of 8.47 billion shares. On the NYSE, the mood was dominated by the advancers as for every eight stocks that gained, ]]></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 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 outperformance was attributable to improved ground and international express shipments as well as strong yield initiatives. Further, the Freight segment returned to profitability during the quarter. Fiscal 2011 revenue increased ]]></description>

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>

(GE).  The total cost of the airplanes is $2.8 billion at list prices. Boeing’s 777 model is one of the most successful twin-engine airplanes. The 777-300 ER adds more variety to the existing 777 family. The 777-300 model is 19% lighter than its closest peer resulting in higher fuel efficiency and can carry 365 passengers for 7,930 nautical miles (14,685 km).

		<description><![CDATA[FedEx Corporation (FDX), the world&#8217;s second-largest package delivery company, reported third quarter 2011 results on March 17. 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>

The S&#38;P 500 was up 1.34%, or 16.81 points, to close at 1,273.69. The tech-laden Nasdaq Composite Index too gained 19.23 points or 0.73% to close at 2,636.05. The CBOE Volatility Index, Wall Street’s fear gauge, was down 10.4%. However, the Index is up 30.8% over the week. Coming to the economic front, on Thursday the Labor Department lifted market sentiment by reporting a decrease in weekly initial claims figures.

		<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>

The indices ended on a winning side, helped by positive economic data and higher profit outlook from package shipper FedEx Corporation (NYSE:FDX).

		<description><![CDATA[Bellwether FedEx’s weak quarterly forecast and its announcement that it would eliminate 1700 positions to save costs discouraged investors, as the two-week rally in stocks appeared to be losing steam. September has been a historically down month for stocks. FedEx, often seen as an economic bellwether because it serves a wide range of industries, also forecast second-quarter earnings below Street projections. The shipping giant’s warning fueled concerns the economic recovery would be slow. Stocks traded in a narrow range, with FedEx (NYSE:FDX) dropping nearly 3.8%. FedEx also said it will shutter 100 facilities. This morning’s stock futures indicate a modestly higher opening as investors see recent profit reports from technology companies as signs of strength in the economy. Yesterday’s better-than-expected profit reports from Oracle and Research in Motion have sent ]]></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>

		<description><![CDATA[by Tony D’Altorio, Investment U Research Tuesday, August 17, 2010 Large industrial companies around the world are reporting increasing strength in demand. And many of them have even adopted hopeful outlooks on global growth. Better-than-expected profits for the second-quarter allowed many companies to raise their full-year growth forecasts. So far, that includes: Boeing (NYSE: BA) Caterpillar (NYSE: CAT) Honeywell (NYSE: HON) FedEx (NYSE: FDX) That trend shows the industrial sector leading the recovery in developed economies, thanks in large part to emerging market’s healthy gains. Yet the very companies that have staked their comebacks on those countries have some major problems on their hands. And worse yet, they caused them in the first place.

		<description><![CDATA[In June, the nation&#8217;s Trade Deficit jumped to $49.90 billion from $41.98 billion in May, and from just $27.14 billion a year ago. That is an 18.9% rise for the month and a 83.9% increase from a year ago. It is far worse than the expectations which were for the trade deficit to be more or less unchanged from May. It also strongly suggests that when the next look at second quarter GDP comes out that it will be revised downwards. The trade deficit is a direct subtraction from GDP in the form of net exports, so any increase in it directly hits GDP growth. In just a hint of a silver lining, the May trade deficit was revised down from an original read of $42.27 billion. Our exports were ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Earnings Preview 6/11/10 The first quarter earnings season is effectively over. There will be just 33 firms reporting next week, and some of those will be reporting second quarter earnings, not first quarter (we define fiscal periods ending in May, June and July as being second quarter). However, among the 33 total are five S&#38;P 500 firms. These are Best Buy (BBY), Discover Financial (DFS), Kroger’s (KR), S.J. Smucker (SJM) and Federal Express (FDX). The Fed Ex report should be particularly interesting in that its shipment volumes are a telling clue as to how the rest of the economy is doing. With the week light on earnings reports, most of the attention will be focused on the economic data coming out. It will be a very heavy week for data, ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Air Transport Association (ATA) filed a lawsuit against the National Mediation Board (NMB) to stop the Obama administration from putting in effect the new rules for unions, which makes the organization easier to assemble workers at airlines and railroads. NMB coordinates labor relations with airlines and rail companies under the Railway Labor Act (RLA). Airlines and railroads employ more than 500,000 workers, and about two-thirds of those are already in unions, which is much higher than the overall union membership rate of 12%. Under the new rule, union organization would be decided on the number of votes cast. The previous 76-year-old rule required a majority of an entire work group to approve unionization, effectively counting those who do not vote as “no&#8221; votes. Thus, ATA considers the new rule ]]></description>

		<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[Today, we’re going on the hunt for the Holy Grail. But Monty Python’s bumbling crew are nowhere to be seen. I’m talking about scientists’ and engineers’ constant search for the “Holy Grail” of the energy world: A resource that’s clean, has no emissions and is inexpensive. Simple right? Well, the “clean” and “no emissions” parts are relatively straightforward. It’s the inexpensive part that is elusive. It just so happens to be the most important factor, too, with higher oil prices and more interest in alternative energy because of global warming. Solve the price conundrum, though, and you can kiss dirty coal and lofty oil prices goodbye. And the energy sector is making progress on several fronts… What Are Fuel Cells? There’s little doubt that getting to a low-carbon, low-cost, clean-energy ]]></description>

While last year’s dismal numbers are by all means a big help for the comparisons, there are some clear pockets of strength as well. Discounters are doing better than the high-end players, online is gaining in strength and market share. Amazon’s (AMZN) recent momentum and FedEx’s (FDX) positive guidance are along the same broad theme. The Commerce department reported this morning that retail sales rose 1.3% in November, roughly double the expected gain of 0.7%. Sales for the preceding month were revised down to 1.1% from the originally reported 1.4% gain. Autos and auto-parts sales were particularly strong in November, rising 1.6%. ]]></description>

This was, however, down from $1.23 per diluted share reported in the year-ago quarter. Earnings overall were negatively affected by the global recession. Revenue slumped 20% to $8.01 billion, and operating margin fell to 3.9% from 6.3%. Revenue at the company&#8217;s overnight-air business fell 23%, with earnings down 70%. The company’s earnings remain plagued by the global recession. Though management forecasted a gradual turnaround in global economy, for the fiscal year it expects earnings to remain subdued, compared to the previous-year level. For the second quarter, management expects earnings in the range of 65-95 cents per share. As a cost containment measure, the company retrenched a significant number of workers last year ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Shares of FedEx Corp. (FDX)  have jumped more than 5% so far today after the company preannounced fiscal first-quarter earnings, which topped Wall Street expectations. The package-delivery major said that it expects to post earnings of 58 cents per share, which is well above its guidance of 30 cents to 45 cents as well as the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 43 cents per share. 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. The guidance is still well below the year-ago earnings of $1.58 per share. FedEx ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Stock performance in the transportation sector has been very uneven, reflecting the varying fortunes of particular industries within the sector. The median year-to-date-stock price gain/(loss) has been mixed for industries in the Zacks transportation universe, with all industries underperforming the S&#38;P 500’s 3.3% increase, with the exception of railroads and air freight. Air freight has been helped by large gains in smaller companies as the giants within the air freight sector, United Parcel Service, Inc. (UPS) and FedEx Corporation (FDX), are down 10.6% and 8.4% year to date, respectively. The railroads were helped when CSX Corporation (CSX) kicked off the second quarter earnings season earlier this week with better-than-expected earnings. Railroads 11.8% Air Freight 5.1% Equip &#38; Leasing (2.1)% Trucking (2.5)% Shipping (2.8)% Airlines (29.5)% Among the hardest hit industries ]]></description>

		<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. Investors aren’t going ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s time to put some money to work immediately. I don&#8217;t profess to know when the markets will turn, or how long it will take, but I do profess to know that there are quality companies out there that are begging to be purchased, if only in small increments at the present, and held on to for years to come. The three companies that I have added to my portfolio are probably no secret to anyone who has been following my recommendations for some time. They are: Rick&#8217;s Cabaret (NASDAQ: RICK) eHealth (NASDAQ: EHTH) PROS Holdings (NYSE: PRO) I am advocating purchasing 1/4 position in each one. I&#8217;ll be writing full company spotlights and the reasons for my purchases in much greater detail in upcoming posts, but with the decline ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s nothing that I could say to start off this post that would clarify AAR&#8217;s position in their market right now better than what CEO David Storch said to start the 4th quarter and full year 2008 earnings conference call: “Based on questions we have been receiving over the last several weeks, we believe the market may not fully appreciate the spread of business we have here at AAR. In many quarters we are merely seen as an airline aftermarket provider. While that was more true earlier in the decade, today AAR is a much broader company servicing a wider customer base.” Therein lies the beauty of the diversification in AAR&#8217;s business, and their ability to leverage that business, even in tough times like now, to come out stronger and ]]></description>
