FedEx Corp. (NYSE: FDX) is scheduled to release its most recent quarterly results after the markets close on Tuesday. The consensus estimates are $3.88 in earnings per share (EPS) and $15.56 billion in revenue. The fiscal fourth-quarter of last year reportedly had $3.30 in EPS and $12.98 billion in revenue.
In its most recent quarter, the company saw a significant negative impact from fuel costs. Luckily these factors were partially offset by the benefits from yield growth at all the company’s transportation segments.
Also during this time FedEx reported its highest volumes ever, while achieving record service levels.
Management is confident going forward that it can expand its strategic investments, global scope and portfolio for greater long-term profitable growth.
