Fedex Vs Ups

Stock Faceoff: FedEx Vs. UPS

Century American shopping mall and globalization is creating new opportunities, particularly in China.

Consider the U.S. Postal Service a diminished competitor – it hemorrhaged $8.5 billion in cash last year, plans to cut Saturday service and still can’t make the numbers work. That’s why Republican presidential hopeful Tim Pawlenty this week declared that the government should get out of the mail delivery business because the private sector has got it covered.  And by private sector, he means the UPS/FedEx duopoly. 

 

Earnings :  In March, FedEx reported third-quarter revenue of $9.66 billion, up 11% from a year earlier.  However, the company’s operating income slipped 6%, operating margins fell and net income was down 3%.  Higher costs, including fuel, maintenance, merging its freight and less-than-truckload operations and a $66 million reserve to cover damages in a breach of contract lawsuit were said to be responsible.  The company is set to release its fourth-quarter and full-year earnings next week. Key Stats: At $86.81, FedEx is trading at a little more than 24% higher than its 52-week low of $69.78 last July.  The company just raised the stock’s dividend by a penny to 52 cents, which translates into a 0.6% yield.  FedEx has a market cap of $24.5 billion and share prices are running about 6% below 50-day and 200-day moving averages.  FedEx has a price-to earnings ratio of 20.86 and a forward P/E of 13.31. Edge: Speed is FedEx’s best friend – it leads the market in express delivery and those operations account for more than half the company’s revenue.  The company also is aggressively positioning itself to grow through commitment to global markets.  FedEx is investing in leaner-burning Boeing (NYSE: BA ) 777s to reduce the impact of fuel costs.  It also is trying to squeeze costs out of its infrastructure.  Although FedEx took an earnings hit on the integration of the company’s LTL and freight operations, the long-term efficiencies should help boost its competitive position down the road.

 

Earnings:  UPS reported first-quarter revenue of $12.6 billion, up 7% from last year.  More significantly, operating income jumped by 24%.  Operating margin also increased to 11.3%, up from 8.9% for the same quarter last year. Key Stats : At $60.
