FedEx (FDX, $250.46) beats Q2 expectations; authorizes $5 bn. share buyback

FedEx  shares climbed higher Friday, following the  package delivery company’s second quarter earnings beat. The company also reaffirmed its 2022 profit forecast.

Early Friday trading in FedEx shares also got a boost from the company’s announcement of authorization of a $5 billion share buyback plan, including an accelerated $1.5 billion.

For the three months ending in November, FedEx reported an adjusted earnings of $4.83 per share, which surpassed the Street expectations by around 55 cents.  

Revenue increased +14% from the year-ago quarter to $23.5 billion, on the back of strong demand for e-commerce home deliveries.  

Labor costs for the quarter was $470 million, a 4.5% rise from the three months ending in August.

For the full year, FedEx expects earnings in the range of $20.50 to $21.50 per share, partly due to improving shipping demand. However, the company mentioned potential headwinds from hiring and cost pressures – which might  limit upside profit surprises during the crucial holiday period.
