This morning FedEx reported earnings. The company reported $2.53 of EPS on $17.4B in revenue, which beat consensus estimates of $1.52 on $16.4B of revenue.
FedEx U.S. residential volume was 72% for Q4 versus 56% from last year.
Residential volume is less profitable for FedEx as compared to business volume given the additional mileage required to deliver shipments.
The company did note that business-to-business shipments were starting to show signs of recovery.
At 1:30 PM ET, the stock is up over 12% on the trading day.
Let’s review our weekly cycle analysis.

The weekly cycle analysis suggests that FDX has likely forming an important intermediate-term bottom. The next projected intermediate-term low is due between 7/20 – 8/24. Weekly momentum is positive.
On the upside, there are prior cycle high resistances from 168.37 – 178.50.
On the downside, there are rising intermediate-term supports from 145.96 – 135.02. For the bears to regain control of the intermediate-term, we would need to see a weekly close back below 117.32.

FDX is in a bullish weekly pattern with positive momentum. Under these conditions, we would expect any downside in FDX to be limited to the rising intermediate-term supports beginning at 146.
