FedEx (FDX, $253.01) beats fiscal Q1 earnings and revenue expectations
On Tuesday after the closing bell, delivery services company FedEx reported fiscal 2021 Q1 earnings results that beat analysts’ estimates.
Revenues of $19.3 billion surpassed the $17.55 billion expected by analysts. Adjusted earnings per share of $4.87 also exceeded expectations of $2.69 per share.
According to FedEx, results got boosted in part due to volume growth in the company’s international priority and U.S. domestic residential package services. Better yields for its ground and freight services were additional tailwinds.
However, the company also experienced higher costs related to "strong demand," employee compensation, and COVID-19 precautions – factors that offset some of the gains.
FedEx projected its capital spending for the year to be $200 million higher to $5.1 billion, "driven by additional capacity initiatives to support increased volume levels."
