Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about FedEx Corporation stock:

• 1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Shares of FedEx have underperformed its industry in the last three months. The stock has been hurt following recent reports of Amazon.com testing a new business-to-consumer delivery service. The company's results in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, revealed last month, were hurt by the cyberattack in June 2017. Harvey and costs related to the integration process of TNT Express also hurt the bottom line. Additionally, significant investments at the company's Ground unit are also pushing up costs. This is also pressurizing the bottom line. We are, however, impressed by the company's decision to reward shareholders through dividend payments and share buybacks. In June 2017, the company raised its quarterly dividend by 25%" (10/16/2017)
• 2. Stifel Nicolaus analysts commented, "FedEx reported F3Q17 EPS of $2.35, short of our $2.56 estimate and the Street consensus estimate of $2.62. The company cited a significant negative net impact of fuel as the primary reason for the shortfall. But more importantly, in our view, in its Outlook section, management said it is targeting $1.2bn-$1.5bn in operating profit improvement (~$2.90-$3.60 in EPS) at FedEx Express from FY17-FY20 due largely to TNT synergies but also to its aircraft fleet replacement program, continued economic growth, yield management (better pricing), and other factors. The tone of the call was upbeat and positive, as we are now in a quarter the company believes should exceed current expectations. The stock should move higher from here, in our view, on the strong Express margin targets, but we remain Hold-rated, as the next several years are far from certain." (3/22/2017)
• 3. Deutsche Bank AG analysts commented, "FDX's fiscal 3Q release and call, while not perfect, provided enough data points to reinforce our positive thesis on FDX shares. Express earnings, which account for 55% of total company profits, are expected to increase by 40-50% over the next three years (equating to $1.2-1.5B of add'l operating earnings); this year's capex was lowered by $300M; and Ground margins are on an upward trajectory (15%+ guidance in F'4Q and we expect modest expansion in F'18). Net/net we'd characterize the aforementioned data points as ahead of expectations, particularly around Express profit improvement, and translate to strong double-digit EPS growth in F'18E and beyond." (3/22/2017)
• 4. Cowen and Company analysts commented, "FedEx reported what can only be described as disappointing 3FQ17 results, falling short of our expectations and the consensus estimates. We believe this is the last difficult y/y comparison, and current quarter results should show significant y/y and sequential improvement. We reiterate our Outperform." (3/22/2017)
