Lopsided Overseas Package Delivery Battle (FDX, UPS)

Earlier this month Fedex acquired a Polish express company, Opek Sp.z o.o. — an even smaller package delivery company — in a rear-guard action following competitor United Parcel Service Inc.’s (NYSE: UPS) $6.8 billion acquisition of Dutch firm TNT Express NV. German-listed DHL, with a market cap of more than double TNT’s, is probably too big for FedEx to swallow, so the company is forced to make small pickups where it can to try to keep up.

Shares of FedEx are up about 2% at $89.89 in a 52-week range of $64.07-$98.66.
