Earnings spotlight: FedEx
FedEx (FDX, $279.46) is one of just a few notable names on the earnings calendar, with the logistics giant slated to disclose its fiscal second-quarter results after Tuesday’s close. Analysts, on average, expect the company to post fiscal Q2 earnings of $4.20 per share, up 32.1% year-over-year (YoY), on revenue of $22.4 billion (-1.8% YoY).
UBS Global Research analyst Thomas Wadewitz is targeting slightly lower earnings per share (EPS) of $4.17 for FedEx’s fiscal Q2. The analyst expects quarter-over-quarter progress on cost savings in the company’s ground segment to boost margins, “which we believe is the most likely driver of potential EPS upside.”
Wadewitz adds that the “potential for better performance in both Express and Freight compared to fiscal Q1 due to a full quarter benefit from LTL volume gained from Yellow [which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy earlier this year] and considering improvement in Asia outbound Express volume and pricing.”

Thursday (12/21)
Earnings spotlight: Nike
Nike (NKE, $121.02) has lagged the broader market in 2023, with the consumer discretionary stock’s total return (price change plus dividends) at 4.7% for the year-to-date vs 24.9% for the S&P 500. Still, most analysts maintain a Buy rating on the Dow Jones stock.
Wedbush analyst Tom Nikic (Buy) is among those with a bullish outlook on the athletic apparel and footwear maker, saying that “NKE is a compelling 2024 investment story.” However, the analyst adds that the company is “not yet firing on all cylinders,” and that the setup ahead of Nike’s fiscal second-quarter earnings report – due out after Thursday’s close – looks tough.
Nike “was more promotional year-over-year for Black Friday week and … the sell-through trends for the Jordan brand have been choppy recently,” Nikic writes in a note to clients. “Plus, many brands have discussed a slowing wholesale environment in EMEA, a region that’s almost 30% of NKE’s revenues. Given these dynamics, we think it’s tough to envision a guidance raise next week.”
Industry analysts as a group expect Nike to report muted growth for its fiscal Q2. Specifically, the average estimates are for earnings of 84 cents per share (-1.2% YoY) on revenue of $13.4 billion (+0.8% YoY).
