		<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[Despite positive news lately, there’s a lot going on in the markets right now, and it isn’t good. The most terrifying aspect of all is that the doom and gloom is spread worldwide. Europe is a mess right now. Two of its four largest economies teeter on disaster. Meanwhile, Greece is the troubled teenager who knows he needs to get his act together but continues to find himself in bad situations. Germany and France are still experiencing menial growth… Eurozone authorities recognize there’s a problem, but it may be a too little too late. Then the United States has its own problems. Our Central Bank has come under fire for its “quantitative easing” monetary policy, which was primarily ineffective. Its latest initiative of flattening the yield curve may prove detrimental ]]></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 benchmarks’ three-day rally hit a roadblock as the lack of conviction among investors about European leaders finding a solution to the region’s debt crisis on Wednesday’s summit and disappointing domestic corporate earnings weighed down the markets. Markets reversed their winning streak and posted heavy losses with the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) plummeting 205 points or 1.7% to settle at 11,708.44. The Standard &#38; Poor 500 (S&#38;P 500) declined 2.0% to finish at 1,229.23. The tech-laden Nasdaq Composite Index plunged 2.3% and closed at 2,638.42. Just a day after the fear-gauge CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) dropped below the key-level of 30, incremental anxiety among investors once again took it 10% higher to trade over 32. However, on a day of sharp declines, the markets continued the trend of low ]]></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[Stocks may find it hard to stay focused on the day&#8217;s earnings parade given the continued stalemate in Washington on the debt ceiling issue. We also have a couple of housing and consumer confidence reports coming out after the markets open. But had Washington not been as distracting as it has been lately, corporate earnings would be the most important news of the day. The markets have remained fairly stable thus far even as we get closer to the debt ceiling&#8217;s August 2 deadline. With the exception of the gold, no asset class appears to be worried. And this is hardly a sign of complacency. The markets may not be as efficient as some academics believe, but they are smart enough to evaluate America&#8217;s financial health.

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.

		<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>

It’s the reason Wal-Mart (Nasdaq: WMT) wants to unseat Amazon (Nasdaq: AMZN) as the leader in online retail sales. Check out what the first-quarter 2011 comScore report had to say about online retail sales: Online retail sales totaled $38 billion in the first quarter of 2011.

It is the sixth straight quarter with positive growth over the previous year and the second consecutive quarter with double-digit growth over the previous year.

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.

		<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>

Keeping us busy will be a slew of positive reports from a fairly representative slice of corporate leaders, ranging from Coke (KO) and Ford (F) to 3M (MMM) and United Parcel (UPS). Online retail giant Amazon (AMZN) reports after the markets close today. Ford sped past earnings and revenue expectations, with quarterely results the best in more than 10 years. This solid result should help the automaker wipe out the disappointment from its last quarterly result. Also coming ahead of top- and bottom-line expectations was 3M.

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.

According to an administrative official, Obama wants to create an independent panel that will review and recommend how the federal government can sell off its superfluous real estate or consolidate thousands of not-so-used constructions to save billions in taxpayer funds, the Associated Press reported last week. Though selling government property has flared up controversy in recent years, what else could the government do to rid itself of a debt pile? At least it’s better to save taxpayers’ hard-earned money than keeping surplus &#8212; though time-honored &#8212; government properties for charity. We do agree with one of the controversies that selling government property will never solve the debt ]]></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>

With international operations accounting for around 22% of total revenue in fiscal year 2009, the company wishes to tap the growing consumer and business demand in China.

Soon, United Parcel will be submitting an application to the State Post Bureau, the local regulator for a domestic license in the country.

		<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[The question I’ve routinely been asked since last Friday is &#8220;what do you think about Goldman?&#8221; My answer is the only shocking event was that Goldman Sachs (GS) was actually accused of having its hand in the cookie jar. This is not to say that GS is guilty, but the fact that rules were allegedly broken is not something that raises my eyebrows. The simple fact is that there is too much money, too much competitiveness and too many type-A personalities for rules not to be broken. To be fair, however, there are many honest people working on Wall Street as well. Though there is reason&#8211;between the bonuses and the accusations&#8211;to be mad at Goldman, you should really save your anger for brokerage analysts. Once again, they are showing a ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are initiating coverage on the shares of United Parcel Service (UPS) with a Neutral recommendation. United Parcel Service serves as a proxy for the economy because of the volumes and diversity of the goods shipped by the company. 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. It is also streamlining its domestic district and regional operating structure ]]></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>

		<description><![CDATA[United Parcel Service Inc. (UPS) declared its fiscal third quarter results today. 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. UPS ended the third quarter with $2.8 billion of cash and short-term investment. During ]]></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[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>
